Schoute studied at Delft, graduating as a civil engineer. His doctorate on mathematics, from Leiden, was awarded in 1870 for a dissertation on quadric surfaces. From 1881 until his death he was professor of mathematics at Groningen.

Schoute studied various topics in geometry such as quadrics and algebraic curves. From 1891 he studied Euclidean geometry of more than 3 dimensions, writing 28 papers, some jointly with Alice Boole (1860-1940) the daughter of George Boole.
