Does anyone know of any primary schools in Brussels that offer a Dutch/English education or Dutch-language schools that introduce English (and maybe also French) at an early stage? Our little girl speaks Flemish/Dutch and English at home and I'd like to find a school that supports both languages and ideally introduces some French.
Thank you
Schools for Dutch/English speakers

Not many no, a few have maybe an hour a week, as it's not part of the curriculum until the age of 14 in Brussels. The hour a week you might find will not be for mother tongue English, so I cannot see the point of finding a school with English as your child already speaks it. French is obligatory in all Flemish system schools from 3rd primary onwards in Brussels and by then most Dutch speaking children in Brussels will be more than acquainted with French. I'd be looking for a school which supports your daughter's Dutch more than anything, given most Flemish system schools have 80% or more French speakers attending!
