School Statement
Our school was built in 1881. Until 1996 it remained a boys school only and was also boarding. Since 1996, the College is open to both day students and girls to answer the minimal number of pupils fixed by the Belgian Government (200). Maredsous contains 310 students (217 boarding, 93 days students; 270 boys and 40 girls). We are part of the Belgian Catholic school, funded by the Government. We organise the following general studies: French, mathematics, religious studies, history, geography, physical education, and the following options: Latin, Greek, Spanish, English and Dutch.
Exchange Note
