Extended Day
Whether your child needs to stay longer than regular school hours, or support with homework, we offer educational after-school alternatives for all age-groups .
Homework Club (PYP 1-5)
From 4:00 to 5:00 pm
We have a balanced strategy regarding homework. Students in the PYP section will learn how to organise themselves and take an increasing degree of responsibility over their own learning outside of their classroom. The aim is to consolidate what has been learned during their school day through practice. This is a popular service that a significant number of our families are demanding every year. Parents can pick up their child at any time during the homework hour.
Cost: 10€/hour
Garderie Service
From 5:00 to 6:00 pm
You can leave your child until 6 pm. A garderie service is offered from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm where primary students can release some energy in the playground under the supervision of an adult. In case of rain, or cold weather students can stay inside where the school staff will propose various activities.
Cost: 10€/hour

Extracurricular Activities
Every year our school tries to adapt the choice of extracurricular activities to the needs and schedule of our families. Below is the list of the 2024-2025 extracurricular activities offered at MIS.
Please note that In order for an activity to be implemented we need a minimum of 5 participants.
Art Club
Children will have fun during this Art Club, expressing themselves in creative ways and discovering some great artists’ work (Picasso, Monet, Magritte and contemporary artists...)! Like those artists, they will use different techniques such as painting with varied tools (brushes, spatulas, rolls...) in varied way (watercolor, acrylic...), drawing (with pencils, charcoals, pastels..), and exploring their creative sides with many other fun arty techniques (collage, clay, 3D projects..). The teacher, Alexandra Van Lierde is an artist herself, and she has been teaching Art for 10 years, in international schools such as the British School Manila (Philippines) or BJAB (Brussels).
Coding School (in collaboration with Logiscool)
Logiscool is an international programming school for kids and teens that is currently active in 30+ countries worldwide. Logiscool’s goal is to transform your children into active creators of technology by teaching them the basics of coding. Your children will learn algorithmic thinking, problem solving and the basics of coding - in Blox mode on their educational platform tailored for each age category. They emphasize an experience-based teaching method in a fun and cool way and they encourage their students to showcase their creativity. From the very first session they will develop a functional game and they will continue programming a new project every time. Their educational platform – School Code – was especially developed to help kids learn coding in an easy, playful way. Once they become comfortable in Blox mode (usually after a few semesters, depending on their age and evolution), they can learn the basics of text-based coding.
Dance
The class is built on base technique and body alignment; a Mix of warm up exercises from ballet, contemporary dance and jazz to get a touch of most common techniques; Improvisation; Creating choreography based on impro dance research, rehearsed movement and the studies of various dance techniques and choreographers. The task of the class will be for students to discover a range of body abilities physiologically working on fluidity of movement, choreography and improvisation. She aims to make the learner free and creative in his own body by gently teaching him autonomy and self awareness. The class will ideally focus on 1 to 2 artistic projects a year. The projects are usually presented during the school shows once or twice a year.
French Club
The objective of this extra-curricular activity is to expose students to the language in a recreational way and help them develop their self-confidence in French. Depending on the profile of the participants, the activities proposed will be based on different media such as individual or team board games, short films, songs, art, etc. The aim is to improve their understanding of the language, expand their vocabulary and encourage them to speak in a fun and caring environment.
Individual Piano lessons

He's been teaching piano for 10 years, on top of the 30 years of experience he has with guitar, bass, and drums lessons.

Music reading is also an important part of the lessons. Students with all levels are welcome - from beginners to more advanced piano players.

Italian Lessons
The courses are offered free of charge to families by permanent teachers sent by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The courses are supplementary in language but also in Italian culture: cinema, art, food, literature avoiding stereotypes. A first course is aimed at Italians living in Belgium who wish to maintain their ties with the Italian language and culture or who are planning to return to the Italian school in the future. A second course is aimed at non-Italian speakers or beginners and is open to the idea of multilingual education and promotion with the aim of promoting effective academic and professional success. In the case of different levels of linguistic competence in the same group, the teacher will propose both individual activities and others to be carried out in common with all the students.
