The European School Brussels III opened its doors in 1999. The school celebrated its 25th anniversary. European Schools are public establishments created jointly by the European Union and the governments of the member states. There are currently thirteen European Schools across Europe, including Brussels III in Ixelles.
Springfest is EEB3's annual whole-school spring festival that involves the entire school community. The festival is put together with the help of teachers, administrators, school staff and the parents' association, the APEEE. During Springfest, the Act, the Music Festival, the Fashion Show, Games, Workshops, a Haunted House, food and drinks, and sports tournaments take place. Planning begins in the fall term and recruitment for participants starts in the first week of school.
The Parents Association of the European School Brussels III, in close collaboration with the school, offers a wide range of extracurricular activities to children from nursery to secondary. The mission is to provide activities to students of all language sections in a friendly and fun environment to enrich their lives through exploring, art, sports and musical and theatrical expressions. The program is inclusive and brings students from all language sections together by sharing interests and developing friendships across language barriers. Activities are selected based on continuation of successful activities, their educational value, proposals from students and parents, inclusiveness, infrastructure and timetable. Most activities are offered in French, but instructors speak English, German, Dutch and other languages. At the end of the school year there are many presentations and shows for parents to attend.
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.
