ISF Waterloo International School
CIS, BSO, and COBIS accredited British-curriculum school in Rhode-Saint-Genese on the Waterloo road, offering education from Pre-School through International A-Levels for students aged 2.5 to 18. Personal-tariff fees run from EUR 14,020 (Pre-School) to EUR 23,980 (A-Levels), with small class…
In brief
A small British-track school in Rhode-Saint-Genese on the Flanders-Wallonia border, useful if you want individual attention without the size and price of St. John's down the road.
Around 300 students from age two-and-a-half to eighteen, IPC at primary, then Cambridge IGCSE and A Levels through secondary. Class sizes are genuinely small and teachers know the families. CIS and COBIS accreditation since 2021, which matters for portability if you move on.
Parents who stay long term tend to praise the leadership and the responsiveness of the office. The flip side of small is thin: limited subject choice at A Level, fewer sports and activities than you would get at a bigger campus, and a sixth form that is small enough to feel exposed. Families wanting a wider IB or IGCSE peer group usually look at St. John's or BSB. Families who want their child seen, and are happy to trade off scale, do well here.
