The European School of Mol (commonly known as ESMol) is third of the European Schools. It is in Mol, a municipality in the Belgian province of Antwerp. The school was established in 1960 for children of the Central Bureau for Nuclear Measurements (now Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements), Euratom, Eurochemic, and the SCK•CEN (Belgian Nuclear Research Centre) personnel. However, the school has also welcomed children from other European or overseas families who live and work in the area. Buses bring pupils from as far as Antwerp and Eindhoven, although there are boarding facilities in the neighborhood during the week.
It was previously recognized as a German school by the West German government, as the Europäische Schule Mol.
As of 1995[update] at least 5/6th of the total number of students were not children of EU workers.
