ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PROGRAMME
A World-Class Elementary School Programme in Antwerp, Belgium

At Owl Academy International School, we offer a world-class Elementary School programme built on the British National Curriculum - one of the most respected and globally recognised educational frameworks - giving your child a strong, structured foundation from day one.
Through our on-campus learning environment, students in Grades 1 and 2 (ages 5–7) engage with core subjects including English, Mathematics, and Science, alongside enriching foundation subjects - Art and Design, Design and Technology, Geography, History, Computing, Music, and Physical Education. This balanced approach ensures your child grows academically, creatively, and physically in a nurturing, structured setting. As they advance into Grades 3 and 4 (ages 7–11), our Elementary School programme deepens across all subject areas, encouraging greater independence and critical thinking. Students also begin learning a Modern Foreign Language - a natural advantage for expat families raising globally minded children in multilingual Antwerp.
At Owl Academy, our on-campus learning experience is designed with internationally mobile families in mind. Whether you’re arriving from London, Dubai, or Tokyo, the British curriculum provides the continuity, academic rigour, and international recognition your child needs - today in Belgium, and wherever your journey takes you next.
