Stichting Scholengroep Leonardo Da Vinci Leiden

What Stichting Scholengroep Leonardo Da Vinci Leiden does

Stichting Scholengroep Leonardo Da Vinci Leiden is a Dutch non-profit educational foundation (stichting) operating four public secondary schools in Leiden, Netherlands, under the motto 'centraal wat moet, decentraal wat kan' (centralized what must be, decentralized what can be). The school group is registered with the Kamer van Koophandel under number 27362846 and is governed by a two-person College van Bestuur (executive board) and a five-member Raad van Toezicht (supervisory board). It serves approximately 970 students across two brinnummers: 20CL (Leonardo College) and 20DF (Da Vinci College), with about 80 teachers. Education spans the full Dutch secondary spectrum from vmbo (basis, kader) through mavo and havo to vwo, supplemented by specialized tracks including Technasium (technology-oriented O&O methodology), Topsport Talentschool (elite athlete scheduling recognized by NOC*NSF and EVOT), Cultuurprofielschool (enhanced arts and culture curriculum), Leonardo Atelier (creative arts), Cambridge English, Filosofie (vwo exam subject from year 4), Highschool Sport, and Sport- en dansklas. The Da Vinci College ISK (Internationale Schakelklas) provides Dutch-language and integration education to newcomer students from over 35 nationalities in small classes of approximately 15 students.

The technology stack is built on standard Dutch educational platforms rather than proprietary systems: Magister for student information (attendance, grades, schedules, parent/student communication); Microsoft 365 for identity, single sign-on, and the MonaLisa internal intranet; WIS Collect for parent billing; Iddink for textbook and digital-license distribution; and Lyceo for on-premise homework guidance and tutoring. Specialized programs draw on national networks (Technasium Foundation, EVOT, Cultuurprofielscholen, NOC*NSF) and regional cultural partnerships with Leiden museums (Rijksmuseum van Oudheden, Museum Volkenkunde, Hortus Botanicus). The Koersplan 2022-2026 articulates five strategic choices for the period, and the organization passed a four-yearly Onderwijsinspectie review in September 2024 with all standards assessed as satisfactory.

The business model is predominantly public funding: the Dutch central government (Rijksoverheid) provides the bulk of revenue through per-student voortgezet onderwijs allocations adjusted for track, student weight, and special programs. The only disclosed supplementary income is a voluntary parent contribution of €105.00 per student per year for supplementary educational activities. Customer acquisition occurs through the centralized municipal aanmeldweek (enrollment week), with prospective students (primarily group 8 primary-school leavers and their families) engaging through open days, experience events (LEO Experiences, Atelier Experience, Highschool Experience, Open Avond), and school websites. The organization is geographically constrained to Leiden, operating across four locations: Kagerstraat 7 (staff bureau + Da Vinci College Kagerstraat), Telderskade 48 (Leonardo College), Bètaplein 24 (Da Vinci College Lammenschans), and Noachstraat 2 (Da Vinci College ISK), with an additional DCC/ISK location at Vijf Meilaan 137.

Direct peers

• Stichting Dunamare Onderwijs: Multi-school Dutch public VO (secondary education) foundation operating schools across the Haarlem and North Holland region. Directly comparable as a non-profit stichting operating multiple school profiles under one administrative group with the same Dutch government per-pupil funding model.
• Stichting Quadraam: Public VO school foundation in Gelderland (Arnhem/Nijmegen region) operating multiple secondary schools. Comparable in operating model — Dutch public VO foundation, multi-school structure, government funding — differing mainly in geography and absence of specialty programs on the same scale.
• Carmel College: Large Catholic VO school foundation in the Twente/Hengelo region operating multiple secondary schools. Compares on multi-school foundation structure, government funding model, and Dutch VO curriculum breadth (vmbo through vwo).
• Stichting Lucas Onderwijs: Catholic VO foundation operating multiple secondary schools across western Netherlands. Comparable multi-school foundation model serving vmbo through vwo tracks under one governing body with similar Dutch government funding mechanics.

Others

• Stichting Kennisnet: Dutch public-sector educational technology and infrastructure organization supporting schools across the Netherlands. Adjacent ecosystem participant providing the digital infrastructure (including integrations with Magister and Microsoft 365 that Da Vinci relies on) rather than a direct competitor.
• Stichting Lyceo: Dutch homework guidance and tutoring provider explicitly referenced in Da Vinci's partnerships as the on-premises operator of Lyceo Huiswerkbegeleiding. Ecosystem partner rather than competitor, offering complementary supplementary services.
