What SCO Delft e.o. does

SCO Delft e.o. (legal name: Stichting Christelijk Onderwijs Delft en Omstreken) is a Dutch non-profit educational foundation established in 2013 that delivers Christian-inspired primary and secondary education across the Delft region. It operates seven basisscholen (primary schools) at nine physical locations and one secondary school — Christelijk Lyceum Delft (CLD) — at three locations (Molenhuispad for havo/vwo, Hof van Delft for mavo/havo, and sc Delfland for mavo/tl, gl, kbl, and bbl streams), serving families in Delft, Schipluiden, and Den Hoorn. The foundation is governed by a college van bestuur with a supervisory board (toezicht) and is supported by a bestuursbureau (administrative bureau) at Vulcanusweg 263G, Delft.

The foundation's operating model combines direct school delivery with shared back-office services, including the SCO-Academie professional development platform (1,000+ staff participations in 2023-2024, +50% YoY), a dedicated internal replacement pool for primary education (Vervangingspool PO), participation in Pool West, and the Koersbeweging 2027 strategic plan ('Samen het goede oefenen'). Notable in-house educational infrastructure includes the SKILLSlab technology and maker space at Het Mozaïek (opened 2023) and the Kunstvleugel art wing at CLD Molenhuispad (opened February 2026) with 3D printers, a laser cutter, and a ceramics oven. Teacher training is delivered via two formal opleidingsschool partnerships — Opleidingsschool Talentum Haagland (with Lucas Onderwijs) and Opleidingsschool Delflanden Westland (with Hogeschool Rotterdam, ICLON, TU Delft-SEC, ISW, and Lucas VO Delflanden).

The foundation's revenue model is publicly funded: SCO Delft is a stichting operating under Dutch government lumpsum bekostiging per registered pupil, with no private tuition fees. Beyond core education, the foundation has productised one digital asset — the WoordenWeide (Woordenschatapp) vocabulary mobile app developed by De Horizon teachers and an external app developer, targeting young children and newcomers through six themed mini-games. Customer reach is conducted directly at the school level within the Delft catchment, with employer branding and recruitment handled via the foundation's website, LinkedIn, and Recruitee ATS. Customer data handling is GDPR-compliant under a privacy statement last updated July 2024.
