About Montgomery International School
Montgomery International School is accredited by the International Baccalaureate (IB) and offers a comprehensive educational program from elementary through secondary levels.
One school, two programmes
We offer an English and an Advanced Bilingual Programme.
- English programme
All classes are taught in English. French is taught as a second language. - Advanced bilingual Programme
French and English immersion courses.
Students can select the bilingual programme even if they are not perfectly fluent in French, thus developing valuable academic competency in both French and English.
English vs. Advanced Bilingual programme
In PYP1 (Grade 1) all students follow the English programme, while still learning French as a second language. Starting in PYP2 (Grade 2), Montgomery International School offers two different tracks:
PYP 2-5 (age 7-11)
English track: all subjects are taught in English except for French as a second language
Advanced bilingual track: students will be exposed to 50% or French and 50% of English
MYP 1-5 (age 11-16)
English track: All subjects are taught in English - except for French as a second language
Advanced bilingual track: Students take French Language and Literature and History in French. The rest of the subjects are taught in English.
DP 1-2 (age 16-19)
English track: All subjects are taught in English - except for French as a second language
Advanced bilingual track: The Advanced Bilingual diploma requires a second language taught as Language and Literature and another subject taught in the same second language (at EIM, History is taught in French).
A city school in Brussels
An urban school in the centre of Brussels and close to European institutions
As the Belgian and European capital, Brussels is a vibrant cultural city and a multilingual centre of economic and international policy, home to the European Union. Brussels is also the headquarters of the Permanent Council of NATO, as well as home to several universities.
We appreciate our capital for its openness to the world, its cosmopolitan character as well as for its cultural and artistic wealth in the fields of theater, music, dance, literature, visual arts and fashion.
Our student body reflects this multiculturalism and Montgomery International School takes full advantage of our location with trips to EU institutions, Parliament, university libraries and other cultural and artistic venues throughout the year.
Our Community
At Montgomery International School, most of our students come from abroad, speak two or three languages and add much to the character of the school. We also attract Belgian families and long term expats who are looking for international openness and quality teaching and learning.
