St Joseph's College (Dutch, Sint-Jozefscollege) is a Roman Catholic subsidized free school for general secondary education founded by the Society of Jesus in Aalst. The school building is a protected monument.
In 1622, the Jesuits founded a school dedicated to Saint Joseph at the Pontstraat in Aalst. A century later, a church hall with a baroque facade was added. St Joseph College was continually expanded over the centuries and rebuilt. In 1997, the school complex was made a protected monument.
