Ask any experienced expat what advice they would give to a family about to relocate to Belgium, and the answer is almost always the same: sort out the school first. For families with children of any age who are searching for a high school near me in or around Antwerp, the research trail leads consistently to OWL Academy — and this article explains what makes the school stand out in a competitive international education landscape.
A School Built for Mobile Families
OWL Academy was designed from the outset with the internationally mobile family in mind. The school understands that students may arrive mid-year, with educational histories from different countries and gaps in specific subjects. The International Elementary School in Antwerp is particularly well equipped to receive young learners at any point in the academic year, providing individual assessment and targeted support to ensure a smooth transition into the OWL Academy community.
Middle School Done Right
The school’s international middle school in Antwerp, Belgium builds on the elementary foundation through Grades 6, 7, and 8 with a curriculum that grows progressively more demanding without ever losing sight of the social and emotional dimensions of adolescent development. Teachers at this level are selected not just for subject expertise but for their ability to connect with young people who are navigating the particular complexity of growing up internationally.
Examination Qualifications for Every University Destination
OWL Academy’s examination provision covers the two most globally relevant qualification frameworks for English-speaking students. The IGCSE school in Belgium offers the internationally respected Cambridge and Edexcel credentials in Grades 9 and 10. This is followed by either A-Levels in Belgium for UK and European university applications, or the American High School Diploma in Belgium for students targeting North American institutions.
An Unmatched Position Among Belgian International Schools
When families compare secondary schools in Belgium that offer English-medium instruction and globally recognised qualifications, OWL Academy consistently comes out on top. The school’s track record, its dual-curriculum model, and the warmth of its international community make it the natural first choice.
