FAQ
How can I register my child? Is there a registration deadline?
You can register your child without obligation here. Or you can contact our Welcome Office directly.
E-mail: aufnahme@idsb.eu or phone: +32 (0) 2 785 0 135.
We do not have any deadlines for registration. Registrations during the year are also possible.
Is only German spoken at the iDSB? Can my child catch up on languages if necessary?
In our bilingual day care centre with preschool, you have the choice between German / English and German / French groups.
In the primary and secondary school, the language of instruction is German.
In the primary school, we offer English or French from grade 1 with four school hours per week. In addition, French and English are offered within the all-day programme.
In the Oberschule, our children have English and French from Grade 5. Our bilingual subject teaching from grade 6 onwards also enables our pupils to achieve a high level of language competence. Our language programme is complemented by Spanish and Dutch. Pupils with previous knowledge can take the Latinum. If necessary, English and French can be caught up on in catch-up courses.
Our aim is to enable all our pupils to have a successful career in the German school system. Therefore, we offer our programme “German as a Second/Foreign Language (DaZ/DaF)” as comprehensive support for children whose mother tongue is not German.
How much are the school fees? Can we apply for a discount for my child?
You can find all the important information about our school fees here.
We understand that your child’s education at an international public school can be a big investment for your family. In order to support our families who pay the school fees from their own funds or a large part of them themselves – without direct or indirect remuneration from employers or third parties – we therefore offer various discount options. All information about our discounts can be found in our school fee schedule.
When are holidays? Is there holiday care?
Here you can see our holiday calendar.
We offer our KiBi children great holiday care with our German-speaking and pedagogically trained staff. We offer a varied programme in mixed-age groups: between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm, the little ones play indoors and outdoors, engage in creative activities and go on culinary excursions. The childcare programme is aimed at kindergarten children. We also welcome children from other institutions during the holiday care. KiBi is closed during the Christmas and 3 weeks of the summer holidays.
Which books does my child need? Is there also digital teaching content?
You can find our current school and material lists here:
Primary School
Realschule
Technical College (Fachoberschule)
Secondary School
In order to offer our pupils modern teaching, we work with digital teaching content at an early stage.
“I have three children at the iDSB. All three have felt very comfortable since day one and they have made great friends right from the start. The welcome from the iDSB team has been very warm and we look forward to the next few years at this unique school.”
