Lycée Dachsbeck is a secondary school (high school) located in Brussels. It was founded in 1876 by Henriette Dachsbeck. The school is divided between two sites: one on the rue de la Paille and the other on the rue de Rollebeek.

In 2004 and 2006, students won the final of the television programme Génies en herbe (Budding Geniuses).

History
In 1876, Lycée Dachsbeck was founded under the name Cours d'éducation pour jeunes filles B (Educational institution for young girls B). The first head of the school was Henriette Dachsbeck. It was the second official secondary school for girls in Brussels, after the Athénée Robert Catteau. It became coeducational from 1978. In 1943, the buildings were occupied by the Germans and the courses were given at Athénée Robert Catteau.

Buildings
The building on the rue de la Paille was built on the site of a former Jesuit convent. The convent was turned into a hospital during the French Occupation and became the property of the City of Brussels in 1810. During the construction of the Palace of Justice, the buildings were used as temporary law courts before coming to house the secondary school after its foundation in 1876.
