Sint-Lukas art school Brussel

[Zonpintje]

Hello! Was wondering if anyone out there might have some experience with this school or know of anyone else who might? I am considering it for my oldest DS going into 1st upper and we believe art would be a good choice for him. Just a bit concerned because it is located just outside of Gare du Nord...not exactly known for it's calmness. Any input is welcome ;)

Cheers!

Lack of Calmness is one way of putting it. I work next door and consider it a very dodgy area! I get hassled daily by tramps and beggars and everywhere smells of wee and you're 2 steps from the red light district! Don't know anything about the school though I'm afraid. I remember taking dd to the holiday club at work one day and we were stuck in traffic. She said "Mummy why is that lady in her pants?" I turned round to find we were parked right in front of one of THOSE windows .

darn!!! does that mean there is no bubble that can take you from the north station to the school directly?? That does sounds like a lot for a 12yr old to have to deal with, not sure if he'd be ready for that! If I like the school I'd probably accompany him till he's older and feels more comfortable.

Thanks for the reality check :)
