Brussels - School Report Question and Answers

Aside from school fees, are there required expenses such as uniforms, laptops/tablets, musical instruments, or field trips that parents are expected to cover? What are the approximate costs?

There are some trips that need to be paid for, but overall the expenses are minimal. If your student goes for 6th grade, you will pay for the dépaysement at the beginning of the year, which does cost a bit more, but it's nothing exceptional. - Aug 2024


Nearly everything is already rolled into the school fees (laptop, PE kit/uniform, swimsuit for PE, costs of field trips, etc.). The only things I have noticed are charged separately are voice/instrument lessons, the LAMDA drama exam preparation classes and exam fees, and the fees for a special optional theater trip to Prague. - Feb 2019


All students are required to choose either piano/ guitar/ or violin and are expected to be able to practice at home. Each family has to provide their own instrument. - May 2018


Field trip fees were sometimes required, but they were minimal, 5-20 Euros per year. - Apr 2017


Sports are crazy expensive. 200 euros per season plus travel expenses. - Jun 2016
