School nurse

Since opening its doors in 1999, the European School of Brussels III is committed to provide a high-level, multilingual and multicultural education. Every day, pupils of different nationalities, allocated in seven language sections (German, English, French, Czech, Greek, Spanish, Dutch) stand alongside, discovering and sharing knowledges in an environment of respect, solidarity, tolerance and dialogue. As in each European School, the words of Marcel Decombis (Director of the European School of Luxembourg between 1953 and 1960) which express the very essence of our mission, have been sealed in parchment into the foundation stones of the school: “(…) Educated side by side, untroubled from infancy by divisive prejudices, acquainted with all that is great and good in the different cultures, it will be borne in upon them as they mature that they belong together. Without ceasing to look to their own lands with love and pride, they will become in mind Europeans, schooled and ready to complete and consolidate the work of their fathers before them, to bring into being a united and thriving Europe.” Job description
