No one can doubt that the mastery of several languages is a great advantage, giving a head start for their future.
Based in the capital of Europe, our school has opted for the combination of English and French.
Who are we?
The Brussels International Catholic School was founded in 2004 as a successor of the Institute of Saints Peter and Paul, a small Catholic school founded in 1971.
Given the transformation of Brussels into a truly international community, it was decided to open an international school following the Cambridge International Curriculum.
Our Pre-Primary and Primary schools are both English/French bilingual. The language of instruction in our secondary school is English.
Students take the International IGCSE exams at the end of Year 11, and the International A Levels at the end of Year 13.
At BICS we believe that theatrical expression is much more than just an extracurricular activity. It's a powerful learning opportunity that nurtures confidence, creativity, and empathy in our students.
Our program emphasizes personal growth through the stage, where everyone can discover their hidden talents, assert themselves, and forge lasting bonds with their peers. Whether you aspire to play iconic roles, write captivating plays, or delve into the backstage as a technician, our school offers an unforgettable theatrical experience that will stay with you far beyond your years of study.
Get ready to illuminate our stage with your dazzling passion and creativity!
Dear BICS Family, As my son, Elvin Abbasov, prepares to leave this wonderful school at the end of the school year, I want to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation. This school has been more than just a place of learning – it has been a second home, filled with memories, growth, and friendships. Many thanks to teachers for their guidance, patience, and dedication. The huge efforts of the staff and administration behind the scenes never go unnoticed. They've helped create a safe, welcoming environment that made it easy to learn and grow. While Elvin is excited about his future, he’ll always miss this place that has helped shape who he is. As a parent, I hope he will make you and us proud as he takes on new adventures and continues learning beyond these walls.

“Thank you for all you do for our children. We appreciate and love how you treat each child as a child of God worthy of respect and dignity. The teachers are amazing: thank you for taking the time to help out your students and for understanding their different learning styles and abilities. Most of all thank you to BICS for modelling Christian values and behaviour....”

"I'm very happy with BICS. Academically, it is very advanced in both French and English. The children in the Primary school can already write essays, analyse articles, do mental maths. Spelling and Reading are subjects that the children at BICS enjoy. The teachers are very qualified and friendly...”

We are sorry to be leaving BICS after seven wonderful years, and wish to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to the entire school community. BICS has been exceptional in providing not only a stellar academic foundation but also in instilling strong moral values. We have been immensely pleased with the education and nurturing environment provided to our son. The dedication and passion of the teachers and staff have significantly contributed to his growth and development, and we are truly grateful for the positive impact the school has had on him. We will always have fond memories of the BICS and will remain appreciative of the role it has played in shaping our son into the person he is today. Thank you once more for everything you have done for our family.

Being in the BICS family has been a wonderful and positive experience for us. Saphir’s French has improved dramatically in only 5-6 months, and she has learned to appreciate the diversity of cultures at the school. Her teachers and the school management have also been very supportive. We are sure she will always have a fond memory of her time at BICS. We love when at bed time she’s doing her prayers and sometimes blesses the meals.
