History
John van Ruysbroeck College 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 that offer private counselling. In 1999, the college joined forces with St John Berchmans College in Brussels to start this scheme.
In the 2017–18 school year, the college had 720 students.[2]
