Why choose us
A smaller, more personal IB alternative
For European Commission Category 1 staff, choosing the right school for your children in Brussels shouldn't mean compromise. The European Schools system serves thousands of families well, but demand has outpaced capacity — many classes now hold 30 students or more. At the International European School, we've kept classes to a maximum of 22 students, so your children get the attention and individualized support that larger class sizes can't offer. We deliver the same rigorous International Baccalaureate curriculum your family relies on for continuity across postings — at a fee structure designed to be accessible, not exclusive. If you're evaluating options for the year ahead, we'd welcome the chance to show you around.

What is the International Baccalaureate?
The IB Diploma Programme is one of the world's most respected pre-university curricula — recognised by leading universities across Europe, North America and beyond. Read the official IB Diploma Programme details at ibo.org.
Multilingual & intercultural
Tuition in English with a strong emphasis on second languages, international-mindedness and critical thinking — values that mirror the EU institutional environment.
Academically rigorous
In grades 11 & 12, students study six subject groups alongside Theory of Knowledge, an Extended Essay and CAS activities — the breadth and depth universities demand.
Transparent pricing for EU institution Cat. 1 families
We've structured our fees to work directly with the European Union's education allowance system — so you know exactly what to expect.
How the EU education allowance works
EU institution employees are entitled to an education allowance for dependent children attending recognised schools. Most families go to the European schools; we offer all Category 1 EU institution employees top IB education and small class sizes for €840 per month plus your monthly education allowance.
