Teaching is mainly in French, and offers advanced English lessons.

History[]

The Belgian School was founded in 1965 by the Belgian authorities for the children of the Belgian community in Rwanda. It rapidly opened to Rwandans children and other nationalities.^{[citation needed]}

In 2018, the school moved from its historical location in Kiyovu to a new building in Gisozi.

During the Covid-19 crisis of 2020-2021, the school succeeded in maintaining schooling, using both online and on site education, being one of the first international school to fully implement the plans of the Rwandan ministry of education.^{[citation needed]}

Students[]

As of January 2021, 505 students are enrolled at the EBK.^{[citation needed]}

Curriculum[]

The Belgian school follows the official curriculum of the Belgian French Community's ministry of education. The certificates delivered by the EBK are fully recognised as official Belgian certificates, and can therefore easily be recognised by other European countries or non-European countries.^{[citation needed]}
