Belgium is one of Europe’s most welcoming countries for international professionals and their families. Antwerp in particular has built a reputation as a city where expatriates genuinely put down roots, build communities, and invest in the long term. For families making this transition and searching for a high school near me with real credentials and real community, OWL Academy is the answer.
From First Grade to Final Exam
OWL Academy’s educational journey begins at the International Elementary School in Antwerp, where children from Grade 1 receive an English-medium education that combines academic ambition with genuine warmth. The school understands that for many of these children, this may be their second or third country — and it builds accordingly, with teachers trained to support internationally mobile learners and a community designed to welcome newcomers at any time of year.
The international middle school in Antwerp, Belgium carries this journey through Grades 6 to 8, a phase of education that OWL Academy treats with the seriousness it deserves. Academic preparation, personal development, and community belonging are all considered essential outcomes of the middle school years, and the school’s track record demonstrates that it achieves all three.
British Qualifications: IGCSE and A-Levels
OWL Academy’s IGCSE programme in Belgium in Grades 9 and 10 delivers the Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel qualifications that universities across the world recognise and respect. Students who continue with this pathway complete their studies with A-Levels in Belgium — the qualification that remains the defining credential for UK university admission and is increasingly recognised across continental Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region.
American Education in a European Setting
OWL Academy’s American High School Diploma in Belgium gives American families — and any family targeting US colleges — a familiar, fully accredited educational pathway delivered within one of Europe’s most dynamic cities. The combination of American academic structure and European international perspective is genuinely rare and genuinely valuable.
