As part of our commitment to providing inclusive education and ensuring the success of all students, International School of Belgium offers specialised support services for learners with English as an Additional Language (EAL) and those with Special Educational Needs (SEN).
Beginning with the academic year 2026-27, we will be implementing a term fee of 550 Euros to cover the costs associated with delivering these essential support services. This fee is applicable while the student needs support and is reviewed each term.
The EAL/SEN support fee is intended to facilitate the provision of dedicated resources, personnel, and specialised programs tailored to meet the unique learning needs of students requiring additional support in language acquisition or with specific learning requirements.
Benefits of EAL/SEN Support:
- Personalised assistance and interventions to address individual learning challenges.
- Access to qualified EAL/SEN specialists who provide targeted instruction and guidance.
- Integration of inclusive practices within the classroom environment to promote academic success and social-emotional well-being.
- Ongoing monitoring and assessment to track progress and adjust support strategies as needed.

Please note that if a student intends to leave the school before the 3rd instalment due date then there is no need to pay the last instalment amount provided the notice of withdrawal is given 3 months in advance. A failure to properly inform the school of withdrawal, as per the above conditions, will result in a penalty of one term’s school fees.
