history

In 1835 the Jesuits established in a former convent of the Franciscan Sisters of the Collège de Brugelette one, a high school that was intended initially for the education of the children of French Catholic families, after King Charles X by the Ordonnance of 18 June 1828, the Jesuits from eight to then had removed grammar schools in France run by them. The Collège de Brugelette quickly gained an excellent reputation, especially for its arts education, and attracted students from all over Europe, especially those from noble families. In 1854 the Collège de Brugelette was closed after Jesuits had been allowed to work in French schools again in 1850 and the reason for moving to Belgium no longer existed.
