Language learning is conducted through immersion in English and French. Teachers speak exclusively in the assigned language during Montessori sessions, with both languages present in small groups and equal hours of instruction in French and English. The aim is for children to acquire the languages intuitively and to have a comprehensive and structured understanding of each language. The French program aligns with Fédération Wallonie Bruxelles and the English program is assessed by Cambridge English.
Stepping Stones offers Wednesday afternoon activities and holiday camps run by experienced French and/or English speaking teachers. Registration for these activities can be done throughout the year via our team. These activities are popular and have limited places, so early booking is recommended.
Stepping Stones Bilingual School operates a preschool campus in Auderghem, Brussels, catering to children aged 18 months to 6 years. The educational framework integrates Montessori and Reggio Emilia methodologies, emphasizing self-directed learning and artistic exploration. Instruction is provided by two native speakers in every classroom—one speaking English and the other French—ensuring constant bilingual immersion. A distinctive feature of the school is its "Forest School" initiative, where children take weekly trips to the nearby Soignes Forest to explore the natural environment and develop motor skills. The facility includes garden spaces designed for sensory play and light-filled classrooms equipped with specialized manipulative materials. Beyond the standard day, the school provides after-school workshops such as yoga, music, and culinary arts. This setting serves families seeking an international environment that combines structured language acquisition with a focus on creative and outdoor engagement.
