Best places for living with the family well comunicated with EC? by eyp
Hi all, I'm just gathering information about Brussels communes. I'll work near Schuman station, but I don't want to live there because it doesn't seem good for living with the family, too much business, it isn't a residential ...
Don't worry, I'll visit schools around Eterbeek or WSL/WSP in person even if they seem not having free vacancies. My date of arriving is confirmed, I'll land on Saturday 30... so I'll start working on that since 1st of June or maybe ... Read More

Yes, it's sad, but after researching a bit about public transport, it isn't very comfortable to go from Ixelles to places close to Schuman, you need to take two or three to get there. Read More

Well, I'm from Spain, that's why I say I think it'll be easier for us (wife, daugther and me) to learn French. For working I don't need it because I'll speak in English, but I'd like to learn some French to help my daughter ... Read More

Yes, you're right. Not too much, but currently I'm used to go by foot to everywhere (to work, back to home, to school, etc.), so I like also doing some exercise walking. I don't mind having to walk 30 minutes to go work, but I don't ... Read More

Thanks for your answer callasa. Well, I've already contacted to Dutch schools and some of them say me that they don't admit kids who don't speak dutch or haven't attended an school with immersion, or don't have a dutch parent. ... Read More

That's interesting, because I was wondering what was the difference between: - Communauté française - Libre - Subventionné communal So if libre are free, does it mean that all of them are subsidised by the State?. Read More

After researching a little bit about schools with vacancies for 2nd primary at Etterbek, WSL/WSP, just realized that most of them but two are 'libre'. Out of curiosity, are libre schools expensive? I know it'll depend on each school, but ... Read More

Yes, you told me about that site in another post. I've been searching through it, but there aren't too much schools with places. Read More

Well, then I'll have some odds... What should I do if I can't get any school?, Should I go to my (future) commune then they assign me a random one, or how does it work? Because in Spain, although the appliances are done in schools, it's ... Read More

Thank you for your answer, it seems interesting. New expats concentrate in the same places because we don't know the city, once there is easier to explore and find another good places for living, I think. Anyway, my main concern is the matter ... Read More
School in another neighborhood? by eyp
Hi all, just new to the forum. I'm going to move to Brussels in a month. My intention is to living in Ixelles, so I'm looking for schools there. I know it isn't easy to get a vacancy, so my question is if we can't get a vacancy in ...
Thanks a lot tervurener, that's a very good point to start my search for a vacancy. Another questions. What is a COCOF (Reseau) school? Also, 'Avec immersion' does mean reinforcement of french for foreigners students? or is it ... Read More

Not an obligation, but if I can avoid it, I prefer not taking car/train to commute. Also I have some friends in Brussels 1000 living there so I'd like to have them close to us, but I wouldn't like living in the old center, that's why ... Read More

Thanks again. What about schools in Evere and Woulwe Saint Lambert/Saint Pierre? do you think it would be possible to get a vacancy in a french speaking school for a foreigner kid? Read More

Thanks!. Then what about Evere, Woulwe Saint Lambert/Saint Pierre communes?, are they better for what I'm looking for?. My daugther is just 7 so my intention is looking for a French language school that has reinforcement for non french speaking ... Read More
