St Joseph College, Turnhout
St Joseph College (Dutch: Sint-Jozefcollege) is a Roman Catholic secondary school in Turnhout, Belgium. It was founded by the Society of Jesus in 1845 and was rebuilt in the same style as Xaverius College in Borgerhout.[1] HistoryAs early as 1639, there was a Latin school in the area. This lasted until the 1796 and the Napoleonic wars.[2] In 1845 a landowner, Maria de Nef, asked the Jesuits to take over the school. It was re-established as the Collegium Sancti Josephi Turnholtanum. Over the following 90 years, its campus grew in size to accommodate the increasing student population. In 1935, a new school was built on a 22-acre site on the outskirts of the city. In 1941, this was expanded and in 1958 a new primary school was built.[2] Originally, it only taught Greek and Latin. In 1959, sciences were introduced and in 1985 it became co-educational.[2] AlumniNotable former students include: Gallery
