Please recommend good, French schools near VUB! I will work in there, and I am looking for a place in a good French school for my English speaking 7 year old daughter (will go to year 2)! She had a few lessons in Alliance Francaise and that's why we were looking for French school!

We found that Ecole No. 7 in Ixelles and La Petite Ecole Dans la prairie in Uccle have places for her. We need to choose! How are these schools. I haven't even been to the school in Uccle. How do you compare these schools? Are these good schools? My daughter goes to the best school where we live, and I am getting tormented regarding whether I will be able to provide her good, welcoming environment in a French school or not!

Depending on the school, we will need to decide where to live! Is there any transport from Uccle to VUB?

La petite ecole dans la prarie is a huge distance away from VUB, so I would cross it off immediately. You need to concentrate on schools where you'll work/live, not ones a large distance away. That area of Uccle is not good for VUB.

I have no idea how you define "good".

Use the public transport map and google, highlight on the most local schools to VUB and contact them.
