ADMISSIONS
Let’s get to know each other!
Choosing a new school is perhaps one of the most difficult decisions parents face, it is not always easy to know which school is right for your child(ren).
While we try to include as much relevant information as possible on our website as we can, we cannot fully communicate the friendly and welcoming atmosphere you will be greeted with when you set foot in BEPS.
Therefore, in order to make an informed decision regarding the opportunities available for your child(ren)’s education, we invite you to make an appointment for a private tour of our school.

Welcome to BEPS
See what our community says
Thanks for an amazing experience Yesterday! Spurred on by our son, we found ourselves counting down to the opening of the Dinosaur museum, and the event certainly exceeded our expectations. Two things in particular truly touched us:
– the dignity and respect with which you treat our children, which clearly encourages their autonomy. The event felt centered on their empowerment and we thought that was great
– the “excellence” of the team work: you’ve put the bar very high, it was so well organized! You made it all seem very natural but we have no doubt about how much effort went into designing and preparing. For us it is a joy to see our son surrounded by people “who go the extra mile” with a smile.

Our children loved this beautiful school located in the forest – the best environment to learn for a kid! BEPS’ international community was a very enriching experience that allowed us to develop many memorable friendships and organize so many playdates for our kids. We also had opportunities to speak to the teachers and follow up on our kids’ growth. We are all missing BEPS and will be thinking of you from here. BEPS was our first school. Our kids spent their first three years of school and were so happy all the time, becoming self-confident thanks to the dedicated attention they received from everyone in the school.

Our daughter has again made marked progress this year, developing more organisational structure inside herself and so in her school work and activities. She is showing more and more interest in school and as parents, we are now feeling positive about her gaining in confidence and finding her place in the world. She has a remarkable group of teachers. They are interested, understanding, patient, creative and always highly responsive to any concerns we or our daughter may have. She feels safe, nurtured, encouraged, challenged and respected at school. This is a gift for her and for us as parents. To have all this in a school is rare. So, thank you wholeheartedly.

The best part of our experience at BEPS was to know that the school offered more than just a curriculum and that our son was learning in a multicultural environment with values similar to ours. The emotional support during his adaptation to a new language was impressive, he evolved so fast, being able to express himself in English sooner than we could anticipate

We have been so happy with BEPS and are sorry to leave. Unfortunately, we have to due to our work. My son keeps saying he wants to stay at school all the time – and he is upset when school is closed. And he is learning so so much! That is the best compliment for a school in my opinion. We are so impressed by how the teachers and team challenge, care for, comfort and support the kids – amazing!
