International Schools > Belgian Curriculum

International schools with the Belgian curriculum offer education recognized by the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles. These private schools in Brussels provide students with a comprehensive education based on the Belgian curriculum, while also offering a multicultural and often multilingual environment.

These international schools allow children to follow the official Belgian program. At the end of primary school, students take the Certificat d’Études de Base (CEB), then continue through secondary school toward the Certificat d’Enseignement Secondaire Supérieur (CESS). These diplomas, recognized by the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, facilitate access to higher education both in Belgium and internationally.

These schools are especially suited for international families settled long-term in Belgium or Belgian families seeking high-quality national education enriched with an international and multicultural context.
