The Hellenic School of Brussels is a state secondary school of the Greek Ministry of Education in Brussels: a gymnasium and a lyceum, each with three classes, under one headship. The school is on Rue Joseph Claes in the municipality of Saint-Gilles and follows the Greek national curriculum. In the 2025-2026 school year it had 17 teachers including the head. The website does not name the language of instruction: the school reports to the Greek Ministry of Education, follows the Greek curriculum and its website is in Greek, so the conclusion is Greek. The foreign languages are French and English, each with its own teacher. Lessons run from 9:00 to 14:50. The school takes part in eTwinning projects and the Your Europe, Your Say! programme, celebrates the European Day of Languages every year, takes students on trips in Belgium and abroad (Ghent, Prague), holds school tournaments in 3x3 basketball and volleyball, invites guests for sessions on healthy eating and careers guidance, and marks national holidays together with the Embassy of Greece.

YPAITHAGreece's Ministry of Education, Religious Affairs and Sports (YPAITHA)
A Greek school abroad: the Greek curriculum taught in Greek, and the school belongs to the formal Greek education system under the ministry's supervision. Every such school is named on the list of Greece's education ministry.
What the badge means for this school. This is a Greek school abroad, and that can be checked on the list of Greece's education ministry. The entry is not a quality inspection: a school is on the list as part of the Greek education system, not as the outcome of an assessment. The curriculum and the certificate are Greek. Whom the school admits and what it charges are on its own website. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it.

The Greek school curriculum taught in Greek, with Greek qualifications: the gymnasium certificate and the lyceum certificate.
What this means for this school. The curriculum is set by Greece's education ministry, which also names the school on its list of Greek-language schools abroad that belong to the formal Greek education system. A lyceum leaver receives the Greek school-leaving certificate used for entry to Greek universities; for children of Greeks living abroad Greece has a separate quota in the university entrance examinations.
Exams and destinations from the school's official website
The school publishes nothing about where its leavers go: no share going on to university, no exam results, no list of universities.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 7 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
