Introduction

Agnes School is a private Catholic language-immersion day school. Located in Brussels across two campuses: pre-primary and primary at Rue Louis Hap 143 in Etterbeek, and secondary at Avenue Père Damien 31 in Woluwe Saint Pierre. The school combines an immersion-based curriculum with a Catholic ethos. In pre-primary and primary, teaching is bilingual; in secondary it is trilingual, with two sections: French/Dutch and French/English. The Upper Cycle (5th and 6th secondary) offers International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme as a candidate school. Agnes School emphasizes four dimensions: intelligence, heart, body and soul, and collaborates closely with families. Founded in 2002, it remains small in size with individualized follow-up from kindergarten and coaching from the first year of primary. Facilities include a large playground, year-round access to a green park for team games, and ANA workshops in the preschool. The motto Plus est en vous guides its aim of personal excellence and service.
