The International School of Brussels

The school is committed to inclusive academic excellence and personalised learning, believing that every student is a unique individual. It focuses on four core areas: building strong relationships, expert pedagogy centered on differentiation, flexible learning pathways, and effective learning systems. The community is guided by the "Big 4" values: Safety, Fairness, Kindness, and Respect.

The school offers a comprehensive academic programme spanning from the Early Childhood Centre (Preschool to Grade 2) through the Upper School (Middle School, Grades 7-9; and High School, Grades 10-12). The curriculum is designed to be innovative and forward-thinking, incorporating STEM learning and language development. High school students have access to the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme.

The school prepares students for success through a personalised academic journey that fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability. Graduates go on to pursue higher education at universities worldwide, supported by a dedicated High School counselling team that facilitates university visits, mini-fairs, and admissions workshops.

The school provides a range of learning support services, catering to needs from mild to intensive learning and developmental disabilities. These services are managed carefully to ensure students receive appropriate care and support. Additionally, the school offers English Language Development for students requiring language support.

Admissions are open throughout the year for students from Preschool to Grade 12. Prospective families are encouraged to inquire via the school's website to arrange a visit, as the campus is secure and appointments are required. The admissions process begins with an inquiry form, followed by opportunities to tour the facilities and discuss personalised educational pathways.
