Welcome to Da Vinci website,

I hope whilst browsing through this website you will get excited about what Da Vinci might offer to your child (ren). 

We are  ‘Boutique International School.’ This means I have made a conscious choice to stay ‘small’ because I strongly believe that a nurturing environment is crucial for students to flourish. I have always prioritised surrounding myself with motivated and talented teachers who, like me, always put the students first. Founded in 1997 with seven students in my living room, I still ensure that the standards I originally set have not wavered. Every student is important and is part of our Da Vinci family. We go the extra mile to provide the care and guidance that every student deserves.

Originally we offered the Cambridge Primary and Secondary Curriculum leading to the IGCSE and A-Level examinations. We have now evolved into a fully authorized IB Continuum School. Education changes and we are not afraid to evolve with what we believe is the best curriculum for the students and their future. Our IB status assures quality to our families but equally important to me is that we continue to be non-selective, reflecting the true diversity of society. As such Da Vinci has truly become a home away from home to our expat families, but also for our growing number of Belgian families our school has a proven track record of the added value it will offer your child.

In May 2024, we joined the award-winning international schools group – Chatsworth Schools. Da Vinci is the newest member of Chatsworth’s international schools division, Blenheim Schools. Today, Chatsworth Schools has 18 schools around the world and was founded in 2018 by renowned educationist and businesswoman, Anita Gleave.

The group has a simple ambition; to enable an outstanding future for every child that attends a Chatsworth school regardless of their ability, background, or any additional needs.

Chatsworth’s approach is totally aligned to Da Vinci’s, and I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of their family. In addition to shared values, we are benefitting from extra bandwidth and expertise across our school. So as you can read: Da Vinci has a proud past but an even more exciting future!

I hope this website inspires you to come and visit the school and see with your own eyes how our school can make a difference to your child(rens’) future.

With warm regards – Ms Ilse De Souter
