The Home of Academic Excellence

The British School of Brussels (BSB) is an independent, fee-paying, non-profit-making international school which occupies a beautiful site of ten hectares, surrounded by woodlands and lakes in Tervuren, which is 20–25 minutes by car from the centre of Brussels. It is a co-educational, non-selective day school for students from 1 to 18 years of age, with a roll of approximately 1350. Approximately 31% of the students are British and there are approximately 70 other nationalities represented. The curriculum, both in the Primary School and Secondary School, is a British-based curriculum up to age 16, adapted to suit the needs of our European context and international students.  

BSB has an established French/English bilingual programme for children aged 4–14 years to complement its English-medium teaching. The teaching of Spanish, German or Dutch as optional additional languages is introduced in the Secondary School. The school also has programmes to help students with specific learning needs and to help students who join us with little or no English skills. The school also employs a counsellor. 

In the Secondary School, students sit GCSE/IGCSE examinations at the end of Year 11 (aged 16). Senior students then have the choice of three pre-university qualifications: The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma (with English/French or English/Dutch bilingual options), GCE A Levels or BTEC courses in business, sports, applied science, and hospitality prior to moving on to Higher Education in the UK, USA, Belgium and beyond. Provision is also made for Oxbridge tuition and US university applications.  

Our examination results, year on year, are very impressive and place us in the top performing schools globally. In 2021 our students achieved 100% pass rates in all three systems: in A Levels, in IB Diploma and in BTEC. Our IB average was 40.0 points. Students successfully graduate to some of the top universities around the world. 

The school has the highest expectations of its student population and advice on careers, as well as higher and further education opportunities, is of vital importance to the further development of the students. The school takes part in many careers conventions and has its own international higher education and careers team.
