About
- The story of a school year
  As we look back at the 2018-19 school year, we are reminded of the journey we took together as a community around the poignant question: “What should school be for?” This question helped to define our year of reflection and growth and offered us opportunities to celebrate the many ways that support from our community has had a positive impact on the lives and learning of our students.
- Discover the ISB Learning Network
  When we talk about the ISB Learning Network, we are referring to a community and a Mission. But we are also talking about the cluster of ideas, principles, and values upon which the school has been built over it's long history; but also around which the school is defining its future.
Admissions
- Choosing the right school
  Opened in 2018, the ISB Experience Room offers a unique, interactive experience for the entire family. It was designed to help families think about what is important when choosing a school, as well as to introduce our school in an innovative and engaging way.
- What does our Community say?
  We believe our students are best placed to speak about life and learning at ISB. Hear from different ISB students across our four divisions about how they experience ISB. How we are different, what it's like to live in Brussels, how to make new friends and so much more.
Learning
- The ISB Learning Journey
  The ISB learning journey supports students from Preschool to Grade 12. The school is divided into four divisions, each of which is specially designed to provide an environment in which students can engage, connect, innovate and be empowered.
- A truly inclusive school
  We believe in our Mission of inclusion. We welcome students with diverse learning needs and understand the complexity and mutual benefit of being a truly inclusive school. We are proactive and responsive in the development of each child’s needs through a multidisciplinary team based approach.
Campus Life
- Settled in a green forest
  Set in the heart of the Forêt de Soignes, Kattenberg 19 has been the home of ISB since 1953. Today, the ISB Campus is a modern, vibrant learning community, a place to make new friends, and a home away from home for many families.
- The easiest way to school
  The ISB bus service remains the most popular and recommended mode of transport for our students travelling between home and school each day. With more than 25 buses, serving routes towards most parts of the city and surrounding areas, the benefits are clear.
Community
- 1400 students from 62 countries
  One of the most striking features of ISB is the extraordinary sense of community and the welcome it offers to families from countries all around the globe. We celebrate this diversity and the opportunities for learning that it brings.
- Join our global Alumni network
  ISB welcomes back graduates, former students, past parents and former faculty & staff almost every day of the year, from all corners of the world. Our alumni community is truly global and we aim to stay in touch via communications and events with as many of our alumni as possible.
Support ISB
- Make a difference
  Part of what makes ISB such a warm, caring and successful community is that so many people contribute to school life. Financial gifts are one important way that everyone – parents, alumni, faculty, staff and friends around the world – can give back to help the school continue to grow and improve.
- Our vision partners
  ISB works with a number of world-class external partners to offer a new and exciting range of programmes and services. Find out more about how our partners are helping us achieve our Mission of inclusion, challenge and success for all students.
Work at ISB
