History

It was founded in 1968 as a boys-only school. In 1994, it became co-educational.[1]

The school is governed by a non-profit association and belongs to a group of seven Jesuit colleges who offer private counselling. In 1999, the college joined together with St John Berchmans College in Brussels to start this scheme.

In the 2017-2018 school year, the college had 720 students.[2]
