It has three branches in Leiden and one in Roelofarendsveen. Together with Visser 't Hooft Lyceum, it is part of the Leiden Confessional Education Foundation (SCOL).

Incidents

Crystalline picric acid was found on the 28th of September 2009 at Burggravenlaan. The building was evacuated out of precaution and the school's surroundings were closed down. Because the discovery was well before the start of the first classes, there were not many teachers and students in the school.[5] In September 2010, some "broom movies" appeared with students and teachers of the Mariënpoelstraat branch, which attracted widespread attention from (national) media.[6]
