We've helped families through this before

The worries you're sitting with - we know them well.

Choosing a school from a distance, or mid-year, can feel daunting. It really doesn't need to be. Here's how we make it gentle.

  • Joining mid-year?

    Year-round entry is the norm at BJAB. We routinely settle new starters in October, January or April - your child won't be behind.

  • English not their first language?

    Our dedicated EAL programme is built into the school day. Most children are confidently working in English within one term.

  • Transferring from another system?

    American, French, IB, national - we'll map exactly where your child fits and build a personalised bridging plan in the first week.

  • Relocating from abroad?

    Book a video tour from anywhere. We meet families on Zoom every week and many enrol before they've even landed in Brussels.
