New 5th School approved as from September 2021

On 31 January 2020, the Belgian Council of Ministers approved the temporary establishment of a 5th European School at Evere - former NATO site as from September 2021. The same site will be used for the permanent location of the new School, which is planned in principle for September 2026.   

This decision is welcomed by our entire school community, as it will address effectively the serious problems resulting from the overcrowding in all other school locations in Brussels.

The proposal for the NATO site was proposed by parent representatives since January 2019, when the temporary location at Arts-Loi was proved not to be a suitable and sustainable long-term solution.

We are very glad that our efforts, in close cooperation with the competent Commissioners and other high-level public office holders as well as with staff representatives in EU institutions, produced tangible results. Our aim now is to follow closely the implementation steps of the new school location and to focus on quality teaching in all European Schools.
