For the fifth year in a row, The British School of Brussels (BSB) has been named one of the Top 15 best private European schools in the prestigious Carfax Education Schools Index 2024, the world’s leading international private school ranking. Again, BSB also earned a spot among the Top 150 private schools globally for 2024, continuing its remarkable recognition on both a European and international scale.
Now in its fifth edition, the Carfax Education Schools Index is an authoritative guide to the world’s finest private boarding and day schools, spanning multiple regions including the UK, Europe, North America, the Middle East, China, and Southeast Asia. Since its launch in 2020, the Index has consistently rated BSB among the very best schools, a reflection of the school’s consistent dedication to high quality education.
This year, the Index has expanded its scope from 125 to 150 schools, underscoring the growing global demand for quality private education. Widely respected and trusted by international families, the Index is often referred to as the definitive guide to private schools, providing invaluable insight for parents seeking the best educational opportunities for their children.
Schools featured in the Index are selected by a panel of expert education consultants at Carfax Education, who evaluate not only academic results and university preparation but also unique school ethos, local and international reputation, sustainability initiatives, and integration of technology. The Index also provides practical details such as curriculum options and fees, as well as information on travel connections to local airports, making it a comprehensive guide for families on the move.
As Fiona McKenzie, Head of Education at Carfax Education, explains: “Now in its fifth year, The Schools Index has become a valuable resource for parents looking for the very best education for their child, wherever they are in the world. The demand for excellent schools grows and remains fiercely competitive, as parents strive to ensure their child receives the strongest foundations to set them up for a lifetime of success. The importance of having The Schools Index has grown as families become more mobile and can choose to work from anywhere in the world. It has become a crucial tool for highlighting the best educational opportunities globally.”
BSB’s consistent inclusion in this prestigious ranking is a testament to the school’s ongoing commitment to delivering a world-class education. Principal Melanie Warnes said: “Being recognised in the Carfax Index for the fifth consecutive year as one of Europe’s Top 15 private schools and among the Top 150 schools globally is a testament to BSB’s commitment to the highest quality education. Our students thrive within a nurturing community, supported by dedicated professionals and engaged parents. This achievement celebrates not just our academic success but also our unwavering ethos of fostering exceptional global citizens.”
