IB Curriculum International Schools in Brussels, Belgium

Brussels hosts a compact cluster of fee-paying international schools that commonly offer one or more International Baccalaureate programmes, with some schools delivering the full PYP - MYP - DP continuum while others teach individual IB stages alongside national or British curricula. Instruction is usually in English, but several schools run bilingual pathways or strong second-language provision in French and (less commonly) Dutch to reflect the city’s multilingual environment. Annual fees vary widely by school and age, with many independent international schools charging in bands where most families see figures in the low-to-mid tens of thousands of euros and a typical band around €11,000 - €23,000 a year; extra costs such as registration deposits, transport, trips and IB examination fees are generally charged separately. Major intakes are aligned with the Belgian school year (September), with some mid-year places and waiting lists; the presence of the subsidised European Schools and other national schools also shapes local demand and availability.
