The four campuses are located around Brussels. Classrooms are in attractively renovated historic buildings surrounded by greenery. Each space is furnished with child-tailored furniture and Montessori materials to support independent learning. Libraries, music rooms and exhibition spaces, as well as a multifunctional barn for theatre, music and presentations, support the academic environment. Outdoor spaces include gardens, greenhouses, playgrounds, tool sheds and barns, with animal care and space for sport.
Outdoor spaces across the campuses are adapted for sports and physical activity. Playgrounds and green spaces provide areas for outdoor learning and exercise. The outdoor environments support a range of active experiences as part of daily learning. The land component offers additional opportunities for movement through farm-based activities and outdoor work.
Libraries, music rooms, exhibition spaces, and a multifunctional barn with equipment for theatre, music and presentations are available. The program includes International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP) and International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (DP).

The Rent your own Christmas Tree project operates on the farm, with replanting and garden activity as part of campus life.
The International Montessori Schools - Rotselaerlaan Campus provides a bilingual English-French environment for students aged 1 to 11. Housed in two residential villas, the campus features specialized facilities including "The Workshop" for carpentry, a hothouse, and a dedicated "Flora and Fauna Shed." The curriculum transitions from the Montessori method in the early and primary years to the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years and Diploma Programmes for older students.A distinctive feature of the school is its "Land Component," where students engage in practical biology and sustainability by caring for resident animals, including chickens named Ella and Sheila and a rabbit named Florence. Proximity to the 205-hectare Tervuren Park allows for weekly nature excursions and botany lessons in a setting containing historical monuments and diverse biotopes. This practical integration of the natural environment into daily learning ensures that students apply theoretical knowledge to the physical world through gardening, animal care, and local field research
