Sint-Barbaracollege, Catholic educational institution in Ghent, Belgium
Sint-Barbaracollege operates as both primary and secondary school, providing education within a Jesuit framework at its campus in central Ghent.
Founded in 1833 on the former grounds of an Augustinian convent from 1420, the institution received its direction from the Bishop of Ghent after the Belgian Revolution.
The school maintains its Jesuit educational principles while adapting modern teaching methods and incorporating both French and Dutch cultural elements in its curriculum.
The institution welcomes visitors during scheduled open house events, where families can explore the facilities and learn about educational programs.
Maurice Maeterlinck, who studied at Sint-Barbaracollege, developed his literary perspective in response to the school's strong emphasis on religious education.
