The International School of Brussels



While living in Belgium, I attended the International School of Brussels. This was the second of two major international schools within in Belgium. ISB is a private school, with tons of awesome amenities that normal high schools don't include such as a rock climbing wall as well as immense cultural diversity. ISB had schools K through 12th grade in three different buildings, as well as a chateau containing all of the administrative offices. One of the coolest things about ISB is the community. While attending school there, I had friends from all over the world including Australia, England, Ireland, Belgium, the Middle East, Asia, North America. I had friends from almost all of the seven continents. While attending school there I got the opportunity to play American Football as well as Rugby. Both of which were awesome fun and were unique in the sense that both teams were very culturally diverse! I moved to Belgium when I was 14 and in 8th grade. We moved over Christmas break because my dad, working for Kraft Foods, was offered a job over there. My family and I lived there until my sophmore year of high school when I was 16. Then over that Christmas break we moved back to Mundelein, Illinois where I finished highschool.
