British curriculum lessons, delivered live across Belgium
Oxford Online School teaches students aged 8 to 18 living in Belgium through live, teacher-led lessons on the British curriculum. With small classes, specialist teachers and a structured timetable, children can study from home in Brussels, Antwerp or anywhere else in the country.
A British school day, run from Oxford
We are a fully online British school based in Oxford. Students follow a timetabled day of live lessons with qualified teachers, progressing through the British curriculum towards internationally recognised qualifications. Belgium has a substantial international community, and we regularly support families who want a UK academic pathway while living there.
What sets us apart for families in Belgium
Live teaching on a clear UK timetable
Students join scheduled live lessons across the UK school week, each led by a subject specialist. The timetable gives them a steady routine and clear progress through the curriculum, with real participation and feedback in every lesson. From Year 10, recordings are available so older students can revisit material during revision.
How UK lesson times work in Belgium
Belgium runs on Central European Time, an hour ahead of the UK in winter and two hours ahead in summer. Because lessons follow UK hours, the school day falls from mid-morning to late afternoon for students in Belgium. Download the time zone guide to see how the full weekly timetable maps to local time.
Who Oxford Online School suits in Belgium
Oxford Online School suits British and international families in Belgium who want their children to follow a UK academic pathway, families preparing for GCSEs, A Levels or UK university entry, and families whose work or lifestyle means regular moves and need an education that carries on without interruption. Our admissions team can help you work out whether it fits your circumstances.
A structured programme for every year group
Oxford Online School teaches from Year 4 through to Year 13. Each stage is led by subject specialists on a structured timetable, whether your child is building primary foundations, sitting GCSEs or preparing for A Levels and university.
Home education rules to check in Belgium
Education is compulsory in Belgium, generally from age five to eighteen, but attending school in person is not, and home education is a recognised constitutional right. Requirements are set at community level rather than nationally, so families must register their intention with the Flemish, French speaking or German speaking community authority depending on where they live, and children generally sit set exams or assessments at various ages to demonstrate progress. Because the specific rules and deadlines vary by community and can change, we recommend confirming your current obligations with the relevant authority before enrolling, and our admissions team is happy to talk through your situation.
