School for my 5.6 years old son

For local free public schooling in French (don't do Dutch in that area, 5% speak Dutch, a terrible environment and nothing after school in Dutch and schools which struggle with the lack of Dutch speakers and with very poor outcomes for children academically, all recorded in PISA reports) is available. I've posted the public schools map several times on other threads.

For English schools, no privilege per nationality (I'd certainly not advertise that nationality in this climate), again I've posted the private schools map several times. You will need a minimum of 10k per year. You will struggle to get good exposure to French even at the schools which label themselves as bilingual, might be simply best to concentrate on a school you can financially pay for. The nearest private school to that area is BISB and most children are now Indian/Pakistani ethnicity at this school with parents working in IT in the area you are working, you'll need at least 16k from memory per year.
