A message from our Headteacher

Discover Our Story
A Tradition of Excellence and Innovation

Welcome to the British International School of Brussels, where a warm, nurturing environment awaits your child! If you’re looking for a small school setting with cosy classrooms and supportive staff, you’ve found the right place. Our experienced teachers and assistants are all committed to providing a rich and engaging environment that every child can truly enjoy and flourish in. 

  

At BISB, we believe that every child deserves to be known and cared for as an individual. Our close-knit community allows us to build strong relationships with our students, and our parents appreciate the personalised attention that their children receive. We know that a successful education is built on strong partnerships between school and home, and we value open, effective communication. Whether through daily chats, weekly photo updates on our school app, or our engaging Parent Workshops, we ensure that families are always informed and involved. 

  

I am especially proud of our programs and curricula, which focus on developing the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally. We aim to foster a deep sense of connection to both local and global communities. As a United Nations Global School, we emphasize the importance of sustainability and equip our students with the knowledge and skills to live responsibly now and into the future. 

  

Here at BISB, we are large enough to offer diverse and engaging experiences, yet small enough to ensure that every student feels truly cared for. We look forward to partnering with you in your child's learning journey! 

  

Warm regards,   

Mrs Helen Prescott

BISB Headteacher

Our school was founded in September 2000 with the establishment of our first school building in Avenue Emile Max, selected because of its impressive interior and central location midway between the European Commission and NATO headquarters. The school quickly became well known throughout the city for its high quality teaching and development of a caring and nurturing school.

As a result BISB grew steadily year on year and expanded into its second building in 2009, which is located in Avenue Emeraude, just a few hundred metres away from the main building. The building in Emile Max now hosts our Infant Department (for children aged 3 - 7) and our Junior Department children (aged 7 - 11) now in the Avenue Emeraude buidling. Together these form the BISB campus set in the heart of Brussels. 

In 2025, we proudly celebrated 25 years of supporting and inspiring young minds, staying true to our founders' vision of excellence in education.
