Until 1844, Master Jan Hessels van Wolda was responsible for education in the Colonies of Benevolence. In the 1860s, disagreement arose about who should pay for the costs of education. That is why the schools came under the responsibility of the government in 1866. National School III was founded around 1875 to replace the colony school from 1826. It was known for its good facilities and learning materials.

The simple schoolmaster's house in Boschoord belonged to the former National School III, which is across the road. From the founding of the Colonies of Benevolence in 1818 until his death in 1844, master Jan Hessels van Wolda was responsible for education in both the Free Agricultural Colonies; Frederiksoord, Wilheminaoord, Willemsoord and Wortel (Belgium) as the Forced Colonies; Veenhuizen, Ommerschans and Merksplas (Belgium).

Johannes van den Bosch introduced compulsory education for the children of the colonists. This was exceptional because the general compulsory education law in the Netherlands was only introduced in 1901.
