Hello everyone,
I am hoping a parent or someone with experience with the local school system in Brussels can provide some guidance. It appears that if you are an American in Brussels it's assumed that you can afford to put your children in an international school. We, evidently, are the exception. I'm currently negotiating with my international company for a position in Brussels. The position will not pay me enough to put both of my kids in international school so we will have to put our two daughters (5th and 3rd grades US) into a local school. How can we find out what local schools would be best suited to cater to the needs of my kids? The oldest speaks and reads French fluently, whereas the youngest understands French but speaks it enough to get by and reads it even less. Neither know French grammar rules nor spelling. How do I go about finding out which school could help them? They are "A" students who excel in their respective grade. My oldest is even an entire grade advanced in mathematics. Any assistance would be helpful. We are looking at Ixelles, Uccle, WSL, and WSP. We will not have a car for a least several months if this move works out.
Bien a vous,
N
