Hello.

Let me introduce myself. I am living in Seoul, South Korea now. My husband will go to Brussels to study in a master degree of Brussels free university from Sep semester this year. I and my daughter will go with him and stay in Brussels for about 2 years.

We are thinking about living in Watermael-Boitsfort area of Brussels. Looking for my daughter's schools there, I found a school of Ecole communale Les Cèdres - La Roseraie. If any of you know this school, could you please share your views and experiences on this school ?

My daughter is 9 years old. Her mother tongue is Korean and she does just basics of English. I am wondering if this school would be good for a foreign kid like my daughter.

It s an OK school but you might want to try for a place at the other watermael schools.

Hi, Schoolmum,

Thanks very much or your kind comment. I really appreciate it. May I ask you other schools you may recommend in Watermael ?

My girl will be new to the country and to the language, French, too. It will take a while for her to adapt and settle. Doing so, she would be in much stress. But I am looking for a school which is friendly to a foreign child like her, so that she does not feel it so stressful.

Regards,

All the schools in the area have significant proportions of foreigners your daughter will be like them. Try all the watermael schools especially the 3 Catholic ones
