Collège Saint-Michel

What Collège Saint-Michel does

Collège Saint-Michel, officially Centre Scolaire Saint-Michel, is a private Catholic educational institution located at Boulevard Saint-Michel 26, 1040 Etterbeek, in the Brussels-Capital Region of Belgium. Operating as a nonprofit under Catholic affiliation, it is the numerically largest secondary education institute in Brussels, enrolling 2,170 students across its primary division (570 students) and secondary division (1,600 students in humanités générales), supported by 250 academic and administrative staff members at a single campus.

The institution delivers a general secondary education curriculum alongside a substantial parascolaire (extracurricular) program that includes sports, scouting, Christian life teams, the Pueri cantores choir, photography, philately, judo, a political club, holiday camps, and volunteering. Its digital infrastructure rests on standard educational platforms: Moodle (moodlestmichel.be) for learning management and content delivery, Cabanga for school administration and parent communication, and iT.SCHOOL for technology education. The school also operates a student-written newspaper, L'heure de fourche, published through the Fourchetime.press platform.

As a private Catholic school, the institution generates revenue primarily through recurring tuition fees charged to families for secondary education services, with Belgian state subsidies for recognized Catholic schools likely supplementing tuition. Enrollment is conducted directly via the school's inscriptions page, with inquiries handled by phone or email at the Etterbeek campus. Marketing and community engagement rely on the website, the student newspaper, recurring events such as the annual Fête du Collège and stylisme fashion shows, and the Association des Parents STM (APSTM). The institution does not publicly disclose tuition pricing or financial figures.
