Vincent is on a boarding school with teacher Provily in
Zevenbergen.
Vincent was sent to boarding school in Zevenbergen at the age of 11
after spending three years at the local school in Zundert. His
parents, though not wealthy, wanted their son to continue his
education at a better school than the one in Zundert. At
Zevenbergen, under the tutelage of Provily, he learns to speak and
write French, English and German and gets his first exposure to
drawing. However, in March 1868, he terminates his formal education
when he abruptly abandons his studies in the middle of the academic
year and returns to Zundert.
