Introduction
European School Brussels II (EEB2) operates a multilingual system where students learn in one of eight distinct language sections, including English, French, and German. The school follows the European Schools curriculum, which culminates in the European Baccalaureate, a diploma recognized for university entry across Europe and beyond. Located in the residential Woluwe-Saint-Lambert area, the campus includes specialized facilities such as the Salle Polyvalente for theater and a dedicated library hosting creative events like Poetry Week.
The school is particularly known for its Climate Academy, a student-led initiative where participants conduct research on environmental literacy and collaborate with international partners. Outside of the classroom, pupils participate in unique traditions like Footfest, an annual community gathering, and the Inter-European School Mathematical Competition. Students also engage in cross-campus events such as the European Schools' Science Symposium, where they present original scientific projects and podcasts, fostering a practical connection to scientific inquiry within a multicultural community.

Short summary (practical points for parents)
- Annual tuition (minerval) is set by category and cycle; the school requires a 25% non‑refundable deposit before the school year begins, invoices the balance and requires timely payment by bank transfer. Sibling reductions apply for successive children in the same category. Routine small charges (insurance, printing, diaries, certain specific activity fees and exam registration) are charged in addition to minerval. Non‑payment can lead to removal from the school list.

Admissions
Admissions
1. Eligibility request via the Enrolments Portal to access the online application form. The link to the enrolment or transfer application becomes available as from 7 January 2025 on the intranets of the European institutions and from the enrolment secretariats of the Brussels school/site corresponding to the first preference. 2. The online procedure is organized in two steps: eligibility request via the enrolments portal to access the online application form, followed by the submission of the enrolment or transfer application once access has been granted. Applications must be submitted online via the Enrolment Portal and, where applicable, attachments in PDF (see Annex V of the Enrolment Policy) within the required deadlines. 3. Language section selection and L1: A fundamental principle is that pupils are enrolled in the language section corresponding to their mother tongue/dominant language (L1) where a section exists; if no L1 section exists, pupils are enrolled in a vehicular language section and attend SWALS as L1. The Director determines L1 and changes to L1 require compelling pedagogical reasons; should a new language section be created, SWALS pupils with that language as L1 transfer automatically to the new section; L1 determination is definitive in principle. 4. Calendar, deadlines and information sessions: The calendar and enrolment procedure are published and deadlines apply for online submission; as of 7 January 2025 the enrolment link is available via intranets and enrolment secretariats. The enrolment secretariats will be closed from 21 July to 15 August 2025. 5. Information sessions and welcome tour: Individual visits or Open Days are not organised due to limited access to the Woluwe site; a welcome meeting followed by a guided tour will be arranged before the start of the new school year. For pedagogical information, refer to the School's website and the enrolment contacts listed. 6.
