About international schools in Belgium

British-curriculum international schools in Belgium are concentrated mainly in Brussels and its suburbs and typically follow the English National Curriculum (Early Years/Foundation through Key Stages), commonly progressing to Cambridge IGCSEs and A-Levels; some all-through schools also offer the IB Diploma or BTEC options in the senior years. Instruction is primarily in English, but most schools formally teach French and many offer additional Dutch lessons or bilingual English - French streams. Fees vary substantially by age and school type: small primary British schools in the Brussels area often publish annual tuition in the lower five-figure band while larger all-through schools commonly publish fees from around €20,000 and, for older year groups, up into the €40,000s. The school year normally begins in September and popular entry points are Reception, Year 7 and Sixth Form, so families should apply early, check assessment or waiting-list procedures and confirm published fee schedules and extra costs before relocating.

FAQs for Belgium

What does ‘British curriculum’ mean in a Belgian international school?
A British-curriculum school typically follows the English National Curriculum across Early Years, primary and secondary phases, using Key Stages, with external examinations such as Cambridge IGCSEs at 14 - 16 and A-Levels at 16 - 18. Some schools adapt the curriculum for an international intake and may also offer alternative senior pathways such as the IB Diploma or vocational BTEC qualifications.
How much do British international schools in Belgium cost?
Tuition varies widely by school, age and whether the school is a small primary or a larger all-through campus; published fee schedules for Brussels schools show annual tuition from the lower five-figure euros at some primary schools to around €20,000 and higher for older year groups, with some senior year fees reaching into the €40,000s. Remember to budget separately for registration fees, deposits, transport, school meals, uniforms and trips, and confirm the school’s policy on pro-rata charges for mid-year starts.
When should I apply and what are the usual entry points?
The academic year normally starts in September, and the common competitive entry moments for British schools are Reception (early years/primary), Year 7 (start of secondary) and Sixth Form (Year 12/13). Schools often accept applications year-round if places are available, but popular year groups can have waiting lists, so parents relocating should contact admissions several months in advance and ask about assessment, deposit and offer timelines.
Is instruction only in English, and how quickly will my child learn French or Dutch?
Teaching in British international schools is predominantly in English, and most schools provide structured French lessons (and often additional language options such as Dutch and Spanish); some schools run dedicated bilingual English - French streams. Children who join an immersion programme early usually make strong progress in spoken French within a few years, but achieving full academic fluency often requires additional support or study time beyond classroom language lessons.
What practical checks should I make when comparing British schools in Belgium?
Check the school’s published inspection or accreditation status, the senior-school qualification pathway (A-Level, IB or BTEC), detailed fee and refund policies, language support for non-native English speakers, and pastoral and special-needs provision. Also ask about class sizes, transition arrangements for children joining mid-year, transport options and the school’s published calendar so you can align start dates and leave or relocation plans.
