Agnes School

Guided by the motto "Plus est en vous" (there is more in you), the school’s philosophy is built on three pillars: the Christian faith, language immersion, and a holistic education. It seeks to develop the four dimensions of a student—intelligence, heart, body, and soul—in a harmonious manner. The school emphasizes close collaboration with parents, who are considered the primary educators of their children.

The school offers a bilingual education from pre-primary through primary school (French/Dutch or French/English) and a trilingual approach in secondary school. The secondary section currently serves students up to age 14, with plans to expand to age 17 by 2027. In the final two years of secondary school, the school offers the IB Diploma Programme, which includes six subject groups, a core curriculum (Theory of Knowledge, CAS, and the Extended Essay), and the option for a bilingual degree.

The school aims to develop independent, responsible, happy, and generous adults who are committed to making the world a better place. As an IB World School, it prepares students for success in higher education and active participation in a globalized society. The curriculum is designed to foster academic and human excellence, encouraging students to strive for the True, the Good, and the Beautiful.

The school provides individual support to pupils starting from the pre-primary level. From the first year of primary school, students receive coaching to help them identify their strengths and weaknesses and define personal development goals. The school also maintains a chaplaincy service to support the spiritual dimension of its educational project.

The admissions process begins with parents familiarizing themselves with the school's educational project and submitting an online application. Following a review of the forms, the school invites parents to an appointment as a couple, which is an integral part of the process. The school then notifies parents of the application status, and successful applicants confirm their commitment by paying an enrolment fee. Students may join during the school year, subject to availability.

The school year begins on August 31. Information evenings and open days for prospective families are held throughout the academic year, with specific dates scheduled for the pre-primary, primary, and secondary sections. Detailed calendars for each academic year are available in the school's documentation.

Agnes School operates across two central sites in Brussels: the pre-primary and primary school is located at Rue Louis Hap 143, while the secondary school is situated at Avenue Père Damien 31. The campus includes dedicated classrooms, outdoor spaces for recreation, and a documentation centre equipped with encyclopaedias, reference books, and periodicals. Students also have access to a computer park and digital resources via various subscriptions.

The school offers optional activities including supervised study, homework help, and after-school care. The IB Diploma Programme incorporates a CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) component, which combines physical activity, service, and collaborative engagement with personal talents. Additionally, students have access to various sports and leadership projects.
