The Brussels International Catholic School is a group of independent schools.
Brussels International Catholic School (BICS) is an independent Catholic, Cambridge-based K–12 school in Brussels, Belgium, serving ages 3 to 18. The campus network comprises Pre-Primary, Primary, and Secondary sites in Etterbeek, each within a five‑minute walk, sharing facilities to support a cohesive learning community. Pre-Primary and Primary offer an English–French bilingual programme; Secondary instruction is in English. The Cambridge International Curriculum governs learning: Cambridge Primary in the early years, IGCSE at the end of Year 11, and A Levels in Years 12–13; the school is a Cambridge Examination Centre. Founded in 2004 and under the guardianship of the Institute of Christ the King, BICS welcomes families of other faiths. The Wallonia-Brussels Federation recognises the school for schooling obligations. Distinctive features include music and theatre—as choirs, regular performances, and plainchant—alongside a broad extracurricular life, a science laboratory, and international travel studies that broaden global horizons.
