The British International School of Brussels (BISB) is a small primary school in Belgium. It was established in 2000 and in April 2008 expanded into separate infant and junior departments. The school provides education based on the English National curriculum for children of more than 30 different nationalities. BISB is an independent, fee financed school situated in the south of Schaerbeek near the RTBF television centre. The school’s 2008 Independent Schools Inspectorate report notes that “Pupils have a strong sense of self-esteem. They feel valued and are happy and confident, as the school has an atmosphere of respect and care for others”. The school was the first school in continental Europe to have Promethean interactive whiteboards installed with the integrated projector and now has interactive whiteboards installed in every classroom from the Nursery to year 6. BISB is a non-selective entry school and prior to admission, most pupils undergo informal interviews with the Headteacher, if they are in Belgium. Admission is also subject to the availability of spaces in the required year group.

Enclos des fusillés

The Enclosure of the executed (French: enclos des fusillés, Dutch: erepark der gefusilleerden) is a small cemetery, located at the Rue Colonel Bourg in the Brussels municipality of Schaerbeek, where 365 resistance fighters of both world wars are buried. The field of honour is located where the national shooting range previously was located. Nowadays, it lies on the plot of several media networks, including the Flemish Radio and Television Broadcasting Organisation and the Belgian Radio and television of the French Community, between the terrains of RTBF and the kindergarten of RTBF.During the First World War, the shooting range was seized by the German forces who executed thirty-five people on the location, including Jozef Baeckelmans, Philippe Baucq, Louis Bril, Edith Cavell, and Gabrielle Petit. During the Second World War, 261 more people were executed by German soldiers, including Youra Livchitz, known for stopping a Holocaust train, saving dozens of Jews transported to Auschwitz concentration camp. After the war, the turf where they were buried was rebaptised to a memorial site. Thirty-eight graves are of unknown individuals. A memorial commemorates the thirty-five executed individuals during the First World War. In 1970, another monument was established, honouring the unknown Belgian political prisoners of the Second World War. It exists of a high burial column and an urn with relics of victims of the concentration camps. Every last Sunday of April, an official ceremony is organised honouring the prisoners of the concentration camps of the Second World War, in the presence of the highest dignitaries of Belgium.The burial site is part of the protected immovable heritage of Schaerbeek since 12 January 1983.
