Webinar: An Introduction to Elementary Schools in Leuven
Finding the right school is top-of-mind for many international parents in Leuven. But where do you start if you're new to the city and don't know the schooling system. We are here to help you figure it all out.
You've probably spent some time researching this topic already and figured out that Flanders has a strong public educational system and that schools in Leuven have a good reputation. So far so good.
But how does it work? What can you and your children expect? What's the difference between these schools? What about the language? Steiner or GO!, come again? And good grief, the online registration system is only available in Dutch...don't worry we are here to help
