Unique School in Belgium – Japanese School of Brussels
The Japanese school opened in 1979 and is still the only Japanese international school in Belgium. The school is medium in size with two floors for a maximum capacity of 500 students. It responds to a constant demand from Japanese families who settle in Belgium for professional reasons and for a limited period of time (a few years).

More concretely, large Japanese companies with a subsidiary in Brussels offer each year to some Japanese employees to work in Brussels for a few years. Hence, the importance for children to continue to follow a Japanese education so as not to lose their educational level during their stay in Belgium. This is the reason why since 2000, the school is funded by both Japanese companies based in Belgium (Brussels) and the Ministry of Education of Japan (Monbusho).
