The mission of the European Schools
The European Schools are educational institutions set up in the European Union’s Member States. They provide pupils with a multilingual and multicultural education at nursery, primary and secondary levels. The Schools follow a specific curriculum and offer the European Baccalaureate diploma. They are intended primarily for children of staff of the European institutions.
The European Schools are official educational establishments controlled jointly by the governments of the Member States of the European Union. They are legally regarded as public institutions in all of these countries.
There are currently 13 European Schools in six countries (Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Spain and Luxembourg), with a total of about 28,750 pupils on roll.
In Belgium there are five European Schools located in Brussels: Brussels I (Uccle + Berkendael), Brussels II (Woluwe + Evere), Brussels III (Ixelles), Brussels IV (Laeken), and in Mol, Flanders.
In Brussels, there are four European Schools
