Notre Dame des Anges, usually called the Notre Dame, is a secondary education school in the Netherlands. The school is located in Ubbergen (near the city of Nijmegen), in the province of Gelderland. It is the only secondary school in the Netherlands that only offers higher general continued education (Dutch: havo). Notre Dame des Anges is named after the Chapel of Notre Dame des Anges near Lurs, in the French Alps; this chapel was supposed to be miraculous.[1]
Notre Dame des Anges was founded in 1903 by French nuns.[2] At the time it was a boarding school for Catholic girls. The nuns lived in 'Ter Meer': a villa located near Ubbergen, in the woodlands on the flank of the push moraine between Nijmegen and Kleve (part of the Lower Rhine Heights). Between 1910 and 1926, the institution was expanded with large classrooms, a gym, a dormitory, a chapel and a carriage house where the support staff lived.[3] [4]
Until 1968, Notre Dame des Anges functioned as an all-girls secondary school. The institution continued as a secondary education school for only higher general continued education (Dutch: havo). In 1973, a new building for Notre Dame des Anges was built at the foot of the push moraine. The old building complex of the institution was sold to a textile manufacturer. He named it 'De Refter'.
Around 2010 it was found that the second school building of Notre Dame des Anges was outdated. Therefore, it was demolished in 2011. During the same year, the school moved to a new school building, which was built right next to the school's outdated building.[5]
