Senior
Your child is growing. So are we. We are expanding to offer Year 11 from September 2025.
You are invited to take part in the next step of the British Junior Academy of Brussels – the further development of our Senior School. With its first graduates expected in 2028, the Senior School is a natural continuation of our highly-tailored and academically ambitious curriculum from Early Years through to IGCSE and IB Diploma.
Expanding the Senior School
With the continued success of our recent expansion into Years 9, 10 and 11 BJAB will continue to offer the best private education in Brussels through Secondary.
The Senior School will provide the opportunity to study a wide range of subjects, supported by our talented UK-trained staff, exceptional pastoral care and a focus on bringing out each student’s passions and potential.
Academic Excellence
BJAB is proud to offer a high quality academic programme that challenges and inspires our students to reach their full potential.
Lifelong Learners
Students in the Senior School will enjoy an immersive and dynamic curriculum, tailored to suit each individual’s needs. The Senior School aims to inspire lifelong learners and prepare our students beyond the classroom, from top universities to tomorrow’s competitive job market.
A Personalised Learning Experience
Our team consists of highly qualified and dedicated educators who are committed to providing a personalised and supportive learning experience for each of our students. Small class sizes allow our specialist teachers to give individual attention to each student and create a collaborative and engaging classroom environment. In years 7 to 9, our vertical tutoring system allows each student to develop connections with fellow students and their teachers, setting them up for success in their individual educational goals. From year 10 students are tutored by a specialist with great experience in that year group.
An Innovative Curriculum
In Years 7, 8 and 9, students follow an adaptation of the National Curriculum for England and Wales, which incorporates project-based learning.
In Year 10 and 11, students follow the Cambridge IGCSE.
In Years 12 and 13, BJAB will offer the prestigious International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), a rigorous and internationally recognised course of study. The IB student profile encourages well-rounded students, focusing on communication and critical thinking skills. IB students develop their ability to take calculated risks while carefully considering their own learning and the effects they have on their society, environment and humanity.
Ambitious Co-Curriculum
We are committed to providing a comprehensive and enriching education for our students to nurture their full potential. To complement our rigorous academic curriculum, we offer a diverse array of extracurricular opportunities for our students to explore their passions.
Co-curricular Opportunities
Our extracurricular offerings include:
- A variety of sports and fixtures, including netball, football and basketball
- Vibrant music and drama productions, frequently student-led
- A wide range of enrichment programmes, such as engineering, debate and journalism
- Leadership roles for pupils such as House Captain roles and the Duke of Edinburgh programme
- Meaningful service opportunities, enabling our students to engage in volunteer projects and make a positive impact in our local community
We believe that extracurricular activities play a vital role in the holistic development of our students, and we encourage all of them to participate and broaden their horizons.
Our school size fosters a close-knit community and a supportive environment for all of our extracurricular endeavours.
