Private & international schools in Tervuren

Arrange the visit at Rotselaerlaan or Pater Dupierreuxlaan

The Rotselaerlaan school page identifies numbers 1 and 3 in Tervuren and describes two villas linked by gardens and play areas. It documents primary children using the nearby park for outdoor study. Ask which building and classroom the child would attend, and how the daily learning and collection arrangements work; the premises name alone does not settle an individual class allocation.

The British School of Brussels publishes Pater Dupierreuxlaan 1, Tervuren. Its FAQ places secondary provision in Years 7–13. Arrange a secondary visit using that receiving year, especially where the pupil is approaching GCSE or senior study. For siblings, compare the two actual journeys and dismissal arrangements rather than assume that a Tervuren collection brings primary and secondary pupils onto one campus.

Distinguish the bilingual transition from the final qualification

BSB’s curriculum page describes British-based study to GCSE and International GCSE, followed by three post-16 choices: IB Diploma, A levels or BTEC vocational courses. It also describes French-English or Dutch-English bilingual IB possibilities. Ask for the actual subject and award combination, including the requirements of the intended next institution; availability of several routes does not establish that every pupil follows all of them.

Its French-English bilingual programme continues through Year 9, while the FAQ describes admissions assessment and reassessment in Year 6 before secondary progression. That earlier bilingual route and a later bilingual diploma are separate decisions. Rotselaerlaan’s page documents Montessori primary learning, while its network introduction also mentions IB secondary. Request the named receiving campus and programme for the next phase rather than extend the network’s age range or IB label to the primary profile.

Prepare the year-group and language discussion before applying

BSB’s FAQ bases year-group placement on the child’s birth date relative to its September–August academic year. It describes possible assessment or conversation after an application review, depending on the receiving age and year. Its general admissions page welcomes enquiries and students throughout the year. Provide the completed class, reports and existing examination subjects so that the actual offer can address both placement and course continuity.

For a bilingual BSB enquiry, the FAQ discusses age-appropriate English or French development and readiness for the other language. Discuss the individual pathway and support rather than read a broad EAL welcome as an identical bilingual-class offer. At Rotselaerlaan, request a primary classroom visit and ask how mixed learning, languages and outdoor work are organised. Obtain current charges for the intended class, care, meals, transport and any required support before comparing totals.

These are the pathways recorded for each included campus. Online provision appears separately. A senior qualification does not establish provision in younger years.
