4k gross is enough for 3 people if you limit housing to 1k per month.

You do not need a work permit.

You choose school and home based on access to work and budget. Getting a school place depends on age and where you choose to move to.

yeah we live off gross 3K amonth easily

Belgian schools start in September, so you'd better take steps quickly (lots of info online, just goggle it). It is a quite bureucratic systems full of traps, every year the newspapers are full of stories about parents complaining about the system. Apparently is quite tricky to get places for the kids in the better schools (in large cities, this means the ones where street gangs are not predominant).

Be aware that if your kids are not able to join a French or Dutch school, then you will not be able to afford international schools with just 4K gross. You need to negotiate this point with your employer.

True about the Polish passport, you can go from the airport straight to your office without any work permit or any other formality, it works as if you were a Belgian national. The paperwork is just that, paperwork that is done afterwards. Do not wait too much though, you are supposed to contact the relevant administration offices within the first 8-10 days after your arrival.
