Montgomery International School

The school is committed to an inclusive, student-centric education that prioritises personal growth, integrity, curiosity, and self-discipline. It views education as a journey of discovery rather than a race, aiming to develop independent critical thinkers who are prepared to thrive as global citizens.

The school offers the full IB continuum: the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for ages 5–11, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for ages 11–16, and the Diploma Programme (DP) for ages 16–19. Students may choose between an English-only track or an advanced bilingual track, which incorporates French immersion and, in the secondary years, subjects such as History and Language and Literature taught in French. The DP curriculum includes core components such as Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS), and the Extended Essay (EE).

The school reports a 100% pass rate in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Graduates are prepared for higher education at prestigious universities worldwide, with the school providing dedicated university counselling to assist with the application process.

The school provides a supportive and nurturing environment, with an admissions process that considers individual student needs. It offers accommodations for students who may require additional support, and the student-centric approach includes personalised teaching and ongoing guidance throughout the IB programmes.

The school maintains an inclusive, open admissions policy, welcoming students from diverse backgrounds and nationalities. The process involves submitting an enquiry, sharing previous school reports, and potentially completing placement tests in mathematics, English, and French for secondary applicants. While there is no formal application deadline, early application is encouraged due to limited capacity in certain grade levels.

The school year typically runs from early September to late June. The calendar includes scheduled breaks for Fall, Winter, February, and Spring holidays, alongside various public holidays. Primary school hours are 8:10 am to 3:30 pm (ending at 12:10 pm on Wednesdays), while secondary school hours are 8:10 am to 3:30 pm daily.

Located in a historic 1907 double "hôtel de Maître" in central Brussels, the campus features a science lab, a 3D printer, a bilingual library, and dedicated theatre space. A separate 500 m2 facility, located 50 metres from the main building, provides a modern environment for Diploma Programme students. The school leverages its urban location to access nearby professional theatres, museums, and university libraries.

Students participate in a variety of activities, including service learning, theatre performances, and school trips, such as the mandatory annual MYP trip. The school also offers after-school activities and a homework club. Physical education is conducted at nearby sports centres, providing opportunities for activities like swimming, climbing, basketball, and fencing.
