[edit] History
The British School of Brussels was founded in 1970, just as the United Kingdom was preparing to join the European Union. For its first few months it occupied temporary premises in Rue de la Loi / Wetstraat in Brussels. On 9th December of that year, HRH the Duke of Edinburgh officially opened the first building on the campus.
[edit] Structure
The BSB is divided into three schools:
- Infant School, which includes Kindercrib (a crèche) for ages 1-3
- Junior School
- Secondary School, which includes a Post 16 section for ages 16-18
