Let us start with one of the School's most important assets: its entrepreneurial and motivated student body such as the Solvay Business Game, the most massive European on-site business game. It gathered 400 students from around the globe and is entirely organized by the students. This event is only one example, amongst many others, that illustrates the importance of having creative and entrepreneurial students in our institution. But the secret formula of the School is more complicated than that: it involves a strong focus on quantitative skills, a large number of practitioners sharing their expertise with the students, the will to exploit synergies between economics and management disciplines, high-level research activities performed by our full-time faculty. Two double degrees with universities in France and China will allow selected students to spend one year abroad and graduate with two official diplomas. With the newly created QTEM (Quantitative Techniques for Economics and Management) networked master, initiated by the School, students may carry out two exchange programs over one year in high-quality international institutions. To attract more students from abroad, the School has launched a new series of specialized postgraduate masters. Our flagship master programs now offer the option of completing up to six months of a credited internship abroad. Over the years, four centers have been created: a multidisciplinary research center focusing on innovation, technology, and education. ECARES specialized in economics and statistics. CEB a research center with expertise in management and multidisciplinary research, and DULBEA focuses mainly on applied microeconomics. In a nutshell, high-quality stakeholders and a distinct orientation towards innovation and internationalization in our teaching and research services have led to the strong reputation and excellent performance of the Solvay Brussels School, as witnessed by its Financial Times rankings, its research rankings (RePEc), and its EQUIS accreditation. "The mission of the Solvay Business School is to train men and women who are capable of selecting, initiating, and managing." By and large, this mission has remained unchanged. But it has now been extended with the creation of the Solvay Brussels School of Economics & Management: 'Our mission is to have a decisive and positive impact on how economic and business challenges are addressed. With a strong emphasis on quantitative methods, we produce pioneering research and educate women and men to become true leaders and entrepreneurs in their field.' "To be a top European school of economics and management integrated into a research-based university, combining a unique blend of scientific rigor, contextual engagement, and problem-solving skills with an ambitious global reach." Created in 1903 by Ernest Solvay, the famous Belgian chemical industrial of his times, Solvay Brussels School is the faculty of Economics and Management of the Université libre de Bruxelles, one of the largest universities in Belgium. Ever since, the School has built up a strong tradition of excellence and innovation in Business and Economics learning, fuelled by deep connections within Brussels' international entrepreneurial network. Today, Solvay Brussels School is indisputably the best known and most trusted business school in Belgium by both students and employers. Our alumni represent a network of more than 20.000 and are present in all sectors of activities in more than 65 countries worldwide. Each year the School, which is EQUIS- and AMBA-accredited, welcomes more than 4.000 students, participating in over 30 programs, including Bachelors, Masters, MBAs, Advanced Masters… As one of the most prominent universities in Belgium with around 24,000 students every year, the ULB, of which Solvay Brussels School is part, offers a campus with numerous facilities and events accessible to all students: sports, library, medical services, restaurants, concerts, conferences and many other cultural events all through the year.

The Brussels International Catholic School (BICS) is an independent co-educational day school with Pre- Primary, Primary and Secondary departments. We offer a bi-lingual curriculum (English/French) in the Pre- Primary and Primary departments, which follows the curriculum of the Cambridge Primary Programme (CPP) and the Belgian accredited program. The Secondary department retains a bi-lingual aspect but is more focused on English, as the curriculum followed leads to the Cambridge International exams. We can look after the needs of every individual child. The school stands for academic excellence, but the school's underlying ethos is that happy children achieve more. BICs offer a broad curriculum, and children are always encouraged to try their best and strive for excellence in everything they do. The school places the child at the center of all our efforts; the learning experience must be both sufficiently structured and enjoyable so that our pupils are motivated to achieve their best. We work with families to ensure that the boys and girls have high academic expectations, are successful in public examinations, and discover intellectual interests that will stay with them. The consistent examination success of our children bears witness to our educational methods. Our school numbers more than 600 children, and we are a truly international community counting over forty nationalities. As a Catholic school, we believe that our Christian faith adds an essential aspect to our educational vision, enabling us to respect every individual as created in God's image; nevertheless, we gladly accept many students of other cultures and traditions. We support them and their families as they make their journey of faith alongside us. BICS is a bi-lingual school. No one can doubt that the possession of several languages is a great advantage, giving a head start for the future. Based in the capital of Europe, our school has opted for English and French. All of our teachers are qualified native English and French speakers. In the Primary department, the approach is the following: firstly, a choice is made regarding the language in which a child will learn to read and write. Usually, this will be French, given that this language is phonetic, and its internal logic helps structure the child's mind. During the first year of Primary school, the child will continue to learn English orally. A child who has followed our Primary school curriculum will be fully fluent by the end of his sixth year and have working knowledge after only one year. Specialist teachers in English (EFL) and French (FLE) offer necessary support to those children arriving without French or English. In Secondary school, we have a slightly different approach. This department is more English based. The school is an accredited Cambridge University Examinations test center and, as such, offers the Cambridge International GCSE and A level curriculum. These qualifications are recognized internationally, offering access to Higher Education in Belgium and throughout the world. We are often asked how this works out in practice. In the Pre-primary department, the week is divided between two teachers, one English-speaking and the other French-speaking. Communication and learning are mainly oral, and the children naturally come to associate the teacher with the language spoken. The week is divided into English on Mondays and Tuesdays, French on Thursdays, and Fridays, with Wednesdays divided into both. In this way, the child benefits from full immersion into both languages. In the Primary department, students are taught in English and French on alternate days. This enables a 50-50% immersion in both languages. The curriculum followed in the Primary department is based upon a Belgian program for the French-speaking part and the Cambridge Primary Programme the English speaking part. At the end of their six years of Primary school, pupils can take the Belgian 'Examen Cantonal,' which is exterior to the school, and obtains a diploma giving access to all Belgian and European Secondary schools (CEB – Certificat d'Etude de Base). Children who follow our curriculum have no difficulty integrating into other English-speaking, French, and international schools. We understand the importance of this, as parents may need to move after three or four years for professional reasons. View full school

EEBA is an international, multi-lingual school offering the European Schools' curriculum. It offers a world-class education together with the opportunity to stay connected to home languages and cultures. It provides access to schools and universities in home countries and across the world. We are committed to creating a happy, dynamic school where children are inspired, and parents' participation helps create a robust and happy community, high standards of behavior, and healthy, carefully supported academic and social development. Our driving vision is to provide a multi-lingual educational context where children develop a passion for life and learning, and our pupils strive to be the best they can be. Children join a language section: English, French, etc., where native speakers teach the first and second language curricula. Specialist teaching is given to children for whom the section's language is not their mother tongue and for children experiencing specific learning difficulties. Pupils learn to be fluent and literate in several languages – their first language (L1) + one other modern European language (L2: either English, French or German). A third European language (L3) is introduced at the start of secondary school with an optional fourth in S4. This prepares them for a future in which language skills and a global perspective enable deep cultural understanding and worldwide mobility in later life. Each child has a unique story to tell in their voice and riches to receive from others. We aim to create an atmosphere of well-being and enjoyment in learning, where each child fully benefits from all that is offered at one of the most beautiful green campuses in Europe. A strong curriculum taught through several modern European languages emphasizes both scientific discovery and cultural understanding. The unique multi-lingual and multi-cultural ethos particular to the European Schools, enhanced by all that is best in the Nordic educational context found at the stunningly beautiful natural estate of the Castle of Argenteuil. The development from the outset of conceptual skills built by a multi-lingual approach benefits learning in all areas. We focus on developing the whole child and nurturing their natural aptitudes to ensure that each pupil leaves ready to meet whatever challenges await. The question we ask is not "how intelligent is your child?", instead "in what ways is your child intelligent?". Our message to them is simple: try to be the best you can be in everything you do. Preparation for the highly regarded European Baccalaureate, which provides access to higher education across the world. Provision of the European Schools' curriculum through modern languages by fully qualified native speakers. Strong individual support and thoughtfully differentiated classroom learning.
