Belgium is a small, well-connected, and family-friendly country with 11.5 million inhabitants in the heart of Europe. It offers a welcoming environment for international families, making it a popular destination for those moving to Belgium with children.
With a diverse international community and a large number of globally mobile families, Belgium is known for its linguistic diversity and inclusive culture. Belgians do their best to make everyone feel at home, ensuring that life in Belgium is a smooth transition for families arriving from all over the world.
A great place to live – Tervuren and Brussels
The British School of Brussels (BSB) is located in Tervuren, a small, mainly Dutch-speaking community just southeast of Brussels. Tervuren is a quiet, safe, and green district, offering family-friendly amenities, including supermarkets, shops, restaurants, and parks.
Just a short car or tram journey from Tervuren, Brussels provides families with the cultural depth of a truly global city. With excellent international transport links, families enjoy easy travel across Europe while benefiting from Belgium’s high quality of life.
A multilingual country and learning at BSB
Lessons at BSB are predominantly in English, though we have a thriving Modern Foreign Language department, offering French, Dutch, German, and Spanish. As a family-friendly international school in Belgium, we see students naturally pick up languages in this multilingual country, developing valuable global communication skills.
