What Sint-Jan Berchmanscollege Westmalle does

Sint-Jan Berchmanscollege Westmalle (operating under the short name SJB) is a Catholic primary and secondary school established in 1912 and located in Westmalle/Malle, in the Antwerpen province of Belgium. The institution runs three integrated levels on two campuses: a kindergarten (Kleuterschool) at Eikendreef 4A in Westmalle for children aged roughly 2.5-6, a primary school (Lagere School), and a secondary school (Secundair Onderwijs) at Kasteellaan 182 in Malle, which serves as the headquarters. The secondary school offers almost all ASO (Algemeen Secundair Onderwijs, general secondary education) directions, with STEM integration from the first year, classical language tracks (Greek-Latin, Latin), economics and science paths, and is described as a domeinoverschrijdende doorstroomschool preparing students for higher education. Extracurricular programming is delivered through the SJB-Actief add-on (choir, chess, rugby, and other sports).

The school is funded through the Flemish government education funding model and does not charge direct tuition fees; revenue is derived from government subsidies tied to approved educational programs rather than subscription billing, although it is functionally recurring per academic year. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: parents enroll their children by contacting the school directly via phone or email, with no formal enrollment system or maximum capacity limit cited for first-year secondary students. Marketing channels are limited to the school's own website (sjbmalle.be), Facebook, and Instagram accounts (sjbmalle and sjbmalle_kleuterschool), with parent communication handled through the Smartschool digital platform and email. The institution has approximately 39 employees, operates as a private (katholieke) school rather than a publicly traded entity, and is a member of the KOKBAVK school association umbrella.
