Eligibility

Children of staff at EU institutions in Brussels have priority access (and free tuition). Other children may be admitted on a fee-paying basis to "Category III" places where capacity allows.

Language sections

Each school operates multiple language sections (typically English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch and others). Children are enrolled in the section matching their dominant home language; second-language teaching is integrated across the curriculum.

Curriculum

Multi-language education across primary and secondary, culminating in the European Baccalaureate. See European Baccalaureate explained.

Logistics

Brussels I and IV serve Uccle and Laeken catchments respectively; II serves Woluwe (where most expat families with EU connections live); III serves Ixelles. School transport is provided across Brussels.
