About LET International School

LET International School is a private, humanistic, and investigative learning institution located in Beringen, Belgium. We welcome students aged 16 to 21 from Belgium, the EU, and across the world into an inspiring international learning environment built on Finnish and Scandinavian educational principles.

Our school operates fully in English as the language of instruction, ensuring that students develop strong academic and global communication skills. Every learner follows an Individual Learning Plan, enabling a flexible and personalised pathway through our blended and on-site model.


Rooted in the HILE model – Humanistic & Investigative Learning Environment, our approach empowers students to learn through curiosity, autonomy, and meaningful real-world inquiry. We believe education should support personal growth as much as academic achievement.


LET International School combines high-quality learning facilities with the strengths of the Belgian educational framework, creating a supportive educational ecosystem grounded in an international learning philosophy.
