The link to the enrolment or transfer application becomes available as from 7 January 2025 on the intranets of the European institutions and from the enrolment secretariats of the Brussels school/site corresponding to the first preference. 2. The online procedure is organized in two steps: eligibility request via the enrolments portal to access the online application form, followed by the submission of the enrolment or transfer application once access has been granted. Applications must be submitted online via the Enrolment Portal and, where applicable, attachments in PDF (see Annex V of the Enrolment Policy) within the required deadlines. 3. Language section selection and L1: A fundamental principle is that pupils are enrolled in the language section corresponding to their mother tongue/dominant language (L1) where a section exists; if no L1 section exists, pupils are enrolled in a vehicular language section and attend SWALS as L1. The Director determines L1 and changes to L1 require compelling pedagogical reasons; should a new language section be created, SWALS pupils with that language as L1 transfer automatically to the new section; L1 determination is definitive in principle. 4. Calendar, deadlines and information sessions: The calendar and enrolment procedure are published and deadlines apply for online submission; as of 7 January 2025 the enrolment link is available via intranets and enrolment secretariats. The enrolment secretariats will be closed from 21 July to 15 August 2025. 5. Information sessions and welcome tour: Individual visits or Open Days are not organised due to limited access to the Woluwe site; a welcome meeting followed by a guided tour will be arranged before the start of the new school year. For pedagogical information, refer to the School's website and the enrolment contacts listed. 6.	Admissions 1. Eligibility and language sections. The Brussels European Schools are primarily for the children of staff of European institutions. Admission uses three categories, with Category III described in Article 7.4 of the Brussels Enrollment Policy. The level of integration and age requirements are defined by the General Regulation of the European Schools (see Annex 2 for equivalences and Article 49 for age). Language sections currently open at EEB4 are BG (Bulgarian), DE (German), EN (English), ET (Estonian), FR (French), IT (Italian), NL (Dutch), RO (Romanian) and SWALS. 2. Access the two-step enrollment process. The process is organized in two steps: first, submit an eligibility request via the Enrollment Portal to gain access to the online enrollment form; second, submit the enrollment or transfer once access is granted. The Enrollment Portal link is published on the intranets of European institutions and with the Brussels Inscriptions Secretariat. If you already have a link and account, you do not need to submit a new eligibility request; your account is valid for 10 years. Children already enrolled for the current school year are automatically enrolled for the next year; no re-enrollment is necessary. 3. Submit the online enrollment or transfer with documents. The application or transfer must be submitted online via the Enrollment Portal (Portail des inscriptions), accompanied by all documents required (the list appears in Annex V of the Enrollment Policy). The online procedure and the Portal link are available on the intranets of European institutions and with the Brussels Inscriptions Secretariat; read the Brussels Enrollment Policy for 2025-2026 for details. For the 2025-2026 year, eligibility/enrollment requests are due by March 27, 2026 at 16:00, and mid-year admissions are not possible; no pupil may start schooling at a Brussels European School after April 13, 2026. 4. Read the policy and contact the admissions secretariat if needed. The Brussels Enrollment Policy for 2026-2027 is available from EURSC and on the Brussels Secretary General's Office site; read it carefully before applying. The enrollment process remains two-step (eligibility first, then enrollment) and information about the online process is provided on EU intranets and by the inscriptions secretariat.
