Nursery cylce

Ages 3 to 5

EEBA’s Early Years cycle welcomes children aged 3 to 5 in a multilingual environment inspired by Nordic and Montessori pedagogies.
The Casa Daisy, Casa Lys and Bluebells classes offer a bilingual setting (English/French or Swedish/Norwegian) fully aligned with the European Early Education Curriculum.

Learning is organised around four core areas:

• Me and my body
• Me as a person
• Me and others
• Me and the world

Children grow and learn within a 14-hectare park, exploring nature in all weather conditions while developing social, motor and emotional skills in a safe, stimulating and eco-responsible environment.

Primary cycle

Ages 6 to 10

The Primary cycle places strong emphasis on the mother tongue, mathematics and the first foreign language, while also integrating art, music, sport and world discovery.
Students take part in European Hours, special moments where pupils from different language sections learn and collaborate together.

Children develop autonomy, learn to ask relevant questions and build solid knowledge.
The multilingual environment, regular outdoor learning, daily Dutch lessons from Primary 3 onwards, and wellbeing initiatives such as the friendship supporters all enrich their experience.
The school also provides tailored SEN support to meet the specific needs of each student.

Secondary cycle

Ages 11 to 18

The Secondary cycle is divided into three sub-cycles:

• Observation Cycle: S1–S3
• Pre-orientation Cycle: S4–S5
• Orientation Cycle: S6–S7

Students follow a progressively multilingual pathway: classes in L1, then key subjects such as humanities and religion/ethics taught in L2.
In S4–S5, they choose between 4- or 6-period mathematics, language options, economics, sciences, ICT, music or arts.
This structure allows students to gradually broaden their academic choices to match their strengths and interests, while developing autonomy, study skills and strong critical thinking.

The campus provides a calm learning environment with science labs, a library and personalised SEN support.
This cycle actively prepares students for higher education in Belgium and internationally.

Two Baccalaureate Programmes

1. European Baccalaureate (EB)
2. International Baccalaureate (IB)

At the end of their secondary education, students choose between two globally recognised diplomas:

• The European Baccalaureate (EB) – taught primarily in L1, with History, Geography and Religion/Ethics in L2. The curriculum combines compulsory subjects, options and complementary courses, totalling between 31 and 35 periods per week.
• The International Baccalaureate (IB) – for students aged 16–19, structured around six subject groups and a core programme. It fosters balanced, rigorous and open-minded learners.

Both pathways provide excellent preparation for university studies in Belgium and abroad, supporting a demanding and well-rounded academic development.

EEBA is an Accredited European School, meaning it follows the official European Schools curriculum while operating outside the legal, administrative and financial framework of traditional European Schools. It is part of the Belgian national network and offers the same multilingual and multicultural education leading to the European Baccalaureate, while remaining accessible to families who may not work for the EU institutions.

EEBA is also a non-profit organisation. The school is not subsidised: 100% of operating costs are covered by the tuition fees, which are set to reflect the actual cost of educating a student. Most of the school’s budget is dedicated to the teaching and pedagogical staff, who support students daily in their learning and development.

The European School of Brussels-Argenteuil invites all interested parents to schedule a visit through the website, by email, or by phone.

EEBA is located in a beautiful landscaped park with its own château, in the Waterloo area, 15 kilometers south of central Brussels.
