Nothing like ISB or BSB - 100 students between the age of 3 and 16 so very small, whereas ISB is over 1400 and BSB around 1200, with facilities to match. ISF follows GCSEs age 14-16 years. ISF is also nowhere near BSB and ISB.

ISF is indeed quite different from ISB and BSB - much smaller class sizes permit greater personal attention and closer dialogue with parents. And now that ISF is the first "Google School" in Belgium (with all classrooms equipped with latest interactive white boards, and chromebooks or tablets for all age groups) and every ISF teacher being Google Education qualified by Summer 2015, there is little to justify paying twice the fees for ISB or BSB apart from the amazing extra-curricular facilities those schools offer.

Previous commentator also got his / her facts wrong: per the ISF website they now have 150 students and go to age 18, offering Cambridge International A-Levels as well as IGCSE. And according to Google Maps, And ISF is only 15 minutes' drive from ISB (11km) and 25 minutes (21km) from BSB - so hardly "nowhere near".

We have our 4 sons (2 in primary, 2 in middle years) at ISF Waterloo for 2 years and are so happy with this school. 
The biggest advantage of being a small structure is certainly a very personalised relation between the families, the teachers and the head of school. An excellent communication that allows you to feel in harmony with the education given to your children. 
 
The fantastic teachers care about their students and will give their time and involvement to help each of them. The capabilities or interests may vary from one student to another, but the ones going faster will be challenged whilst the slower once will be more assisted in each class. 
 
I would recommend the school to everyone who cares about the well-being and self confidence of their children in addition to their academic achievements. They feel at home whilst being challenged academically. 
 
Our children have 4 different personalities but all 4 are doing well and more important feeling very happy in this school.

Had two children (9th grade and 6th grade) in ISF when we were in Brussels on a sabbatical stay. The kids loved it. They adapted to the curriculum (comparable in quality to their US school, though different topics). Teachers were good, friendly, and care about the kids and the school. The school also arranged for Spanish instruction for my younger child -- and the teacher who volunteered did an excellent job -- my son did extremely well when he got back)

The children gained in self-confidence and certainly had no trouble academically when they went back to the US.

It is not ISB (a school similar to the one we have in the US) but it worked very well for us.

My girls love going to ISF. Yes, it is a smaller international school but the environment is superb. There is better teacher student parent interaction due to the small class size. The teachers are able to monitor closely to the progress of the student.

It is a Google certified school, the students have no lack of exposure to the fast moving technologies. The school is also a certified Cambridge test center and they follow the Cambridge system. The principal is nice and very dynamic. Teachers are dedicated to teaching.

Everyday my daughters look forward to going to school to learn. This is something that every parents hope to see in their children. ISF did it!

We are very pleased with ISF Waterloo. It's small size had in no way compromised the quality of education and, in fact, was an advantage as it provided an almost personalised learning experience for our son. Very hands on staff.
