European School Brussels III, in Ixelles, Belgium, serves pupils from 4 to 18 within the public European Schools system. It follows a three-cycle secondary structure: Observation (S1–S3), Pre-orientation (S4–S5) and Orientation (S6–S7), culminating in the European Baccalaureate. The program is multilingual: for the first three years pupils study with most subjects in their mother tongue; from secondary, they choose a second foreign language (L3) and may take a third (L4) in S4. The core curriculum covers L1, L2, Mathematics, at least one science, History and Geography, Philosophy, Physical Education, and Religion or Ethics, with a wide range of electives to reach 31–35 periods per week. The campus includes a library and Documentation Center with thousands of books in multiple languages, online catalogues, and study spaces. Extracurricular life is coordinated by the APEEE and features Olympiads, Model United Nations, TEDx, music and theatre, and wellbeing and citizenship activities.
