Athénée Adolphe Max is a secondary school in the City of Brussels which is part of the official education network.[1] It is located to the east of the center of Brussels, near the Squares district.
A first building was designed in 1904 by the architect Edmond De Vigne. In 1909 two secular schools were created. A first Carter high school for girls, later named Carter in homage to the first director, and an athenaeum for boys, later named Athénée Adolphe Max after the famous mayor of Brussels Adolphe Max.[2] In 1978, the two secondary schools merged into a single athénée and adopted the name Athénée Adolphe Max in 1990.[3] [4]
The Adolphe Max Athenaeum is a school based on the promotion of effort in a respectful setting. The objective of the athénée is to transmit quality training to develop their intellectual and moral skills so that they have the level to approach higher education successfully.[5]
The school has two courtyards:
The establishment has a parents' association (APMAX) and a very active Amnesty school group.[6]
