St Stanislas College (Dutch, Stanislascollege) is a conglomerate of high schools in Delft, Pijnacker, and Rijswijk. Saint Stanislas college itself was founded in Delft as a Gymnasium in 1948 by the Society of Jesus in the Netherlands. When other surrounding schools needed to work together to secure funding they joined to form a conglomerate. In 2007, there were 4253 students. It is the largest school in Delft, after the Christian Lyceum Delft and the Grotius College.
The conglomerate has seven schools:
St Stanislas Chapel (Dutch Sint Stanislaskapel) is outside the front entrance to the college. The foundation stone was laid on 21 June 1955. It was consecrated on 13 November 1956, the anniversary of St Stanislas, by the Bishop of Rotterdam, Martinus Jansen. The architect of the chapel, which was designed in the style of the Bossche School, was Jan van der Laan.
