With a magnificent campus located 20 minutes from Brussels in the vibrant, historic city of Waterloo, the school is renowned for nurturing academic excellence through outstanding pastoral care, global opportunities and a commitment to community outreach.
With a prime location close to two international airports, St. John’s prides itself on its state-of-the-art campus, where first-rate amenities such as a professional-grade theatre and extensive sporting facilities allow students to pursue their passions in the highest quality setting. Premium boarding residences bring students together from all over the world, providing a modern, cosy and welcoming environment to learn the value of independence and lifelong friendships in a shared living space.
International mindset
Even having only joined the global Inspired Education Group in 2016, St. John’s International School has embodied the group’s values, which continue to be strengthened and upheld as the school adapts to a fast-changing modern world. With multiple pathways to graduation, including the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), AP exams and the High School Diploma, students benefit from a bespoke curriculum that accommodates their individual needs and interests.
An early adopter of the International Baccalaureate Continuum qualification, St. John’s offers a broad and balanced programme of subjects and extracurriculars, such as dance, gymnastics, computer coding and more. Their holistic approach to education introduces students to a diverse array of opportunities, encouraging curiosity and transforming each child into an active learner who pursues their distinctive interests and talents.
The curriculum has been tailored around the long-standing belief that embedding cultural awareness into education inspires children to develop skills that are essential to future success. Beginning in their Primary years, children at St. John’s are offered various French and English Dual Language courses throughout their time at the school, encouraging students to become bilingual and biliterate whilst engaging in multiple cultures at once. Combined with access to camps and exchanges in over 111 other Inspired Education Group schools around the world, the curriculum at St. John’s shapes children into astute, socially engaged young learners with an international mindset, who are prepared to go out into the world and achieve excellence.
Nurturing community
St. John’s International School is an open-minded, dynamic and welcoming learning environment where each child’s unique contribution is valued. This sentiment is further woven into the fabric of the school through St. John’s exceptional Learning Support services. Expert teaching staff, guidance counsellors or specialists ensure every child is receiving the appropriate help to secure their academic, social and personal success and well-being. Nowhere is the nurturing heart of the school exemplified more than in the warm and inclusive parent population, who organise regular family events and volunteer opportunities to enhance the spirit of the school and embody its friendly, family atmosphere.
Guided by the school values of knowledge, compassion and resilience, St. John’s International School has earned a long-established reputation for nurturing confident, adaptive, lifelong learners who celebrate diversity and engage globally. As the school prepares to celebrate the 60th anniversary of its founding, staff, parents and students alike look forward to continuing this legacy with each new student to come.
On the 13 March and 24 April, St. John's will hold an Open Day where you can discover their international mindset and nurturing community.
