Two Brussels campuses host the Stepping Stones School: Preschool at 60, avenue Legrand and Primary at 45, avenue Legrand, 1050 Brussels. The school provides a bilingual immersion environment in English and French, with Montessori sessions conducted in both languages. The educational approach uses vertical teaching, grouping three preschool years in one class to support continuity and resilience. This bilingual-Montessori approach supports language development and a structured, inclusive learning atmosphere.
The preschool program creates a bilingual (French/English) environment for children aged 3-6 years using the vertical teaching method. Montessori sessions are conducted in both languages, with teachers speaking either French or English and using only the assigned language. The program aims for intuitive language acquisition and a structured understanding of each language. Preschool and Primary campuses are located at 60, avenue Legrand and 45, avenue Legrand in Brussels, respectively.
Stepping Stones offers Wednesday afternoon activities and holiday camps. These activities are run by experienced, French and/or English speaking teachers. Registration for activities can be done throughout the year via the school team. Places are limited, so early registration is recommended. For information, contact through the website.
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.
