The International School of Brussels (ISB) is an English-language international school that provides an international education to over 1500 students aged 2 ½ to 19 from 62 countries. The secure campus lies in the Brussels commune of Watermael-Boitsfort, about 9 kilometres southeast of the city centre. ==History== The International School of Brussels first opened its doors in October 1951, with four teachers and twenty-seven students between the ages of 5 and 11. It was located in the Brussels commune of Woluwe-Saint-Pierre. By the end of the 1953 term the school was home to about one hundred students and had moved to its current location at the Château des Fougères, in the Brussels commune of Watermael-Boitsfort. It also changed its name from the American School of Brussels to the International School of Brussels. In its early years, the entire school was housed in the old Château des Fougères. The classrooms had desks with inkwells and students were taught how to take a pen (which was basically a fountain pen nib on a stick), dip it in the inkwell (built into the desk) and write their assignments. The school is now a modern educational centre on a forty acre campus serving a diverse community of students. In February 2006 the school board opted to begin fundraising because it determined that the tuition charged to its students was insufficient for its needs.〔Conlin, Jennifer.
