Sint-Lodewijk has been founded by the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of Jesus and Mary. It is the oldest institution for physically disabled children in Belgium. In 1869 the 19th House of the Congregation was founded in Kwatrecht serving as an orphanage and boarding school. In 1921 the first boarding school for physically disabled girls was founded. For the last twenty years an enormous evolution has taken place.

Today there are two entities:

 

THE SCHOOL

The school has been approved as a school type 4 (= children and youngsters with a physical disability).

The primary department: 90 children.

The secondary department: 120 children and adolescents.

In the secondary department there are two educational forms:

1 and 4.

(1) = for persons with multiple disability

(4) = for persons with a physical disability (but able to follow the

mainstream curriculum).

Educational form 1:

children and adolescents with multiple disability.

Educational form 4:

kindergarten + primary school (BKLO)

mainstream curriculum:

(Buso-ASO) = general training (academic subjects)

(Buso-TSO) = technical training (commercial education)

(Buso-BSO) = vocational training (clerical work)

GON = integrated education.

 

THE MPI

The MPI has been approved to accommodate 210 pupils (aged between 2 and 21 years old).

Today 106 pupils are residential and 105 are non-residents.

The MPI provides the following departments:

boarding department (tutors, welfare officers)

medical and therapeutic departments

Home Diepenbroeck has been approved to accommodate 20 multiple disabled adults.

 

PARENTS AS PARTNERS

The participation of the parents is very important in Sint-Lodewijk.

The most important ways in which parents are involved:

regular home visits to support home/school communications

contact booklets for the parents of smaller children

individual school meetings about the children

general information gatherings

parents' committee

'Echo'-magazine

written reports about the children's achievements

interdisciplinary (team) staff/parents meetings
