Physical Exams

  • A complete School Physical by a healthcare provider is highly recommended if your child is entering kindergarten at Brussels American School. The physical may be completed at any medical facility. Please bring a copy of the physical to the school.
  • If your child plays school-sports, then a physical is required once every calendar year while they are attending school at BAS and are involved in sports.
  • The School/Sports Physical can be done at the NATO/SHAPE Brussels Health Clinic, which is on the school grounds at BAS. Any student who attends BAS is eligible to have these health requirements completed at no cost, at the NATO/SHAPE Brussels Health Clinic. An appointment can be made at the clinic by calling +322-717-9500.

Before enrolling in a Department of Defense school, students are required to have the following immunizations listed below. These requirements represent the minimum requirement and do not necessarily reflect the optimal immunization status for a student.

BRING YOUR CHILD'S IMMUNIZATION RECORDS with you (translated into English by your medical authority), when you come for registration. Without this document registration cannot be completed.

The requirements are:

  • DTP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis ): 4 doses, at least one of which was administered after the 4th birthday.
