Institut Saint-André


Institut Saint-André is a French speaking Catholic free school, situated in Ixelles, Brussels, Belgium. Commonly called "Saint-André" by students, it is composed of two campuses. The primary and "maternelle" share a site on Chaussée de Boondael, while the secondary school is found on the nearby Avenue de l'Hippodrome. The school follows the general curriculum, which includes French, Mathematics, Dutch, Science, History, Geography, Latin and Gymnastics. From the third year of secondary school, Saint-André offers elective courses, with a choice between Latin, Science, English, Business, and Classical Greek. Together, all elective and general curriculum subjects must make up 29 to 33 hours of tuition a week. The school was founded in 1906 as a boarding school for girls. It is now a mixed school, open to applications from boys and girls.
