Over 60 years ago, in September 1958, EEB1 first opened on rue du Trône, with just 26 pupils and six teachers. That was a year after the signing in Luxembourg of the Convention defining the Statute of the European Schools, whose mission was, and still is, to provide a multilingual and multicultural education. Now based on two sites, in Uccle and in Forest (Berkendael), we are pleased to have around 4,000 pupils of 60 different nationalities and more than 500 members of staff coming from the various Member States and beyond.
