Education and Schools in Brussels

Brussels has a lot of different types of schools available and most parents will either enrol their children in a school operating within the Belgium system or one of the many following an international curriculum.

 

Some schools teach the English curriculum, while others are bilingual and following the national curriculum for French, Dutch or German speaking students. Private International Catholic and Anglican schools are available but the annual fees for private schooling can be steep at around €5,000 per year for primary level or €6,000 per year for secondary level. In many cases children are taught by nationals of their country of origin.

The school year begins in mid January and runs to early December, with vacations over Easter, July, October, February and December.

 

You should apply far in advance in order to place your child at your preferred school.
