TC format and Dutch schools in Saint-Josse-1210 Area by Madumathi83

Hi We’re moving to Brussels Saint Jose-1210 Area, is there any Dutch Public School nearby? Also can anyone clarify is there any specific format for TC who comes from India? If so please share the details

M Wild

As you don't speak Dutch, please consider the best option and that is the community majority language of French. I would be considering schools just outside Saint-josse such as la Vierge Fidele or la Retraite du Sacre-Coeur. Read More

Hard area to get a decent school place. Look east to Etterbeek and ensure the scho is one of nearest to where you live. Saint Stanislas, Sainte Anne, Colombe de la Paix, la Farandole or Saint Michel. Read More
