Introduction

The International Montessori Schools - Rotselaerlaan Campus provides a bilingual English-French environment for students aged 1 to 11. Housed in two residential villas, the campus features specialized facilities including "The Workshop" for carpentry, a hothouse, and a dedicated "Flora and Fauna Shed." The curriculum transitions from the Montessori method in the early and primary years to the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years and Diploma Programmes for older students.A distinctive feature of the school is its "Land Component," where students engage in practical biology and sustainability by caring for resident animals, including chickens named Ella and Sheila and a rabbit named Florence. Proximity to the 205-hectare Tervuren Park allows for weekly nature excursions and botany lessons in a setting containing historical monuments and diverse biotopes. This practical integration of the natural environment into daily learning ensures that students apply theoretical knowledge to the physical world through gardening, animal care, and local field research
