Lyceum Schöndeln
Lyceum Schöndeln is a secondary school in Roermond, Netherlands. It combines a havo, an atheneum and a gymnasium and incorporates specialisations in both the arts (cultuurprofielschool) and the exact sciences (technasium). The school was formed in 2007 from the merger of the Stedelijk Lyceum and the Bisschoppelijk College Schöndeln. History Bisschoppelijk College Schöndeln The Bisschoppelijk College (Episcopal College), a Catholic secondary school, opened in the centre of Roermond in 1851; in order to expand, it moved to a new building in the Schöndeln estate in 1961. In 1964, the school was issued a building permit for a boarding school, which initially drew students from all over the Netherlands, but then declined in size and was closed in 1993. Stedelijk Lyceum The Rijks Hogere Burgerschool (National Higher Secondary School) opened in 1864, also in the centre of Roermond. In 1980 it moved to a new building on the east side of the city and changed its name to Stedelijk Lyceum (Municipal Lyceum). Fusion to form Lyceum Schöndeln In 2007, the two schools were combined to form Lyceum Schöndeln, which is housed in the former buildings of Bisschoppelijk College Schöndeln. It offers the havo and university entrance (vwo: Voorbereidend wetenschappelijk onderwijs) tracks,
