EUROPEAN SCHOOL MOL Our school was established in 1960 for the benefit of the children of the members of the European Commission personnel. However, since that date, our school has also welcomed children from many other European or overseas families who live and work in the area. Every day, buses bring pupils from as far away as Antwerp and Eindhoven. Boarding school: Since 1985, with permission from the Belgian Ministry of Education, we have been able to provide accommodation for our pupils at the State Boarding School of Heppen/Leopoldsburg.

Our school has four linguistic sections: a German, English, French and a Dutch-speaking Section. Apart for the mother tongue program, the distribution of courses and their contents are identical in each section. In certain situations the mother tongue teaching can be guaranteed even if at the school the corresponding section does not exist. Our kindergarten welcomes children aged 3 to 6. The primary school offers a 5-year curriculum (children aged 6 to 11). The secondary school offers a 7-year curriculum (pupils aged 11 to 18).
All pupils prepare for the European Baccalaureate. They take this examination at the end of the seventh year, and the diploma is recognised in all European Universities and in many Universities overseas. Our school does not prepare for any national examination, but the curriculum has been designed so that pupils may, at any stage and without difficulty, go back to their national system.
