Reviews
- Around 10% above theoretical capacity. Generation 2004 (the EU staff union) and the parents' association both list Woluwe as one of the schools where the squeeze is most visible.
- The site is split: a primary annex and pre-secondary teaching now operate from a temporary campus in Evere, which one r/brussels post described as having "bus-parking problems".
- Frequently named as one of the two "prestige" Brussels European Schools alongside Uccle, with one critic calling its diploma a passport into EU institutions for graduates from "privileged backgrounds".
- Default placement school for many EU-staff families who did not get their first choice. Generation 2004's coverage notes that families often end up at Woluwe or Laeken when Uccle and Ixelles are full.
- 65 nationalities on roll across the Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Finnish, Swedish, Lithuanian, Portuguese, Latvian and Estonian sections. The mix is real, not marketing.
- Reviewers and parents' association documents are unanimous that the European Baccalaureate is recognised across EU systems, which keeps the school in demand even when capacity is tight.
