Moving to Brussels with my 6th grader

Hi,

I've seen a lot of well informed people from Brussels are active here, and I hoped to pick your brains. I am to move with my two kids to Brussels, and it should happen in a few months (as soon as my work permit is done). The kids are aged 11 and 9, going to what corresponds to Belgian 6th and 4th grade. They have been going to French schools so far, and I'd like to get them into a decent public school in Brussels. However, my understanding is that getting them into a good school might be difficult. In particular for my daughter, who is my elder, who is now in the 6th grade, and should take that test and then go on to the secondary school as of next year. I will be working in Ixelles, so I was hoping of getting a school at a reasonable commuting distance from the office, and my preference would actually be away from the city, rather than closer to it, so Waterloo or similar communities would be a preference.

Thank you!!!

Aleksandra

Thank you runningmad and bigbrick. I am definitely inclined to keep more options open, in order to finally find the best solution. I will certainly look into what you're suggesting, however many things would depend on schools. I will definitely come to Brussels in January to see it all for myself and then finally decide what to take, but any further ideas that you might have will be welcome.
