Sint-Jozef College Turnhout

What Sint-Jozef College Turnhout does

Sint-Jozef College Turnhout (SJT) is a Jesuit secondary school located in Turnhout, Belgium, that operates an integrated educational network of four schools under a single Ignatian vision: Kleuterschool (kindergarten at Beekstraat 3), Lagere school De Nefstraat (primary school at Pieter De Nefstraat 4), Basisschool Astridlaan (combined kindergarten and primary at Oude Beersebaan 35), and Secundair ASO (general secondary education at Koningin Astridlaan 33). The institution also runs an on-site boarding school (Internaat) for approximately 200 students aged 11–18 organized into 6 divisions, where the school's own teachers serve as study supervisors. Pedagogically, the school follows Ignatian principles — cura personalis, magis, non multa sed multum, and en todo amar y servir — and is part of a global Jesuit Education Network of 845 schools, 47,681 staff, and 779,940 students. Academic outcomes include third place in the Vlaamse Wiskunde Olympiade, four consecutive years as finalist, a silver medal at the Benelux Mathematical Olympiad, two students among the top 10 at KU Leuven Engineering Faculty, and a provincial school chess championship win.

The institution is a private Catholic school within the Flemish (Katholiek Onderwijs Vlaanderen) educational system and does not have venture, private equity, or corporate parent ownership. Its revenue model relies on tuition and boarding fees: the 2025–2026 boarding fee is €3,877 per year (€21.54 per day), with reductions available for study-grant recipients and families with multiple children enrolled. Distribution is direct through a school-run enrollment process that prioritizes siblings of current boarders, supplemented by information days, open-house events, a website (sjt.be), and Instagram/Facebook channels. Technology infrastructure is minimal and non-proprietary: a Smartschool-based digital learning management system (sjt.smartschool.be), a Wix-hosted public website, and standard social profiles; no AI/ML capabilities, proprietary software, or API platform is disclosed. Headcount is reported at 51–100 employees.
