Hi,
I've been living in Etterbeek, Brussels for around 18 months with my family. My 2 kids both go to a local French-speaking primary school. When we arrived, they spoke only English, but are now pretty much fluent in French. The eldest is 10 and is in the penultimate year so I'm starting to think about secondary school options for September 2020.
I don't work for the EU institutions so I assume the chances of enrolling in one of the European schools is basically zero (that right?). Can anyone please advise on French secondary school options. In the UK where I'm from, there is an independent inspection system which allows parents to know something about the quality of schools. Is there anything like that for Belgium?
If not, which secondary schools are considered good? Is there anything I need to know about applications/enrolment? Do some schools have specialisms (ie science or languages)? Are there any pitfalls to be aware of?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
cheers
