Term in Belgian school

Question

My 15-year old nephew would like to come here next year and spend a term in a Belgian school in Brussels to improve his French. Any ideas if it is possible to enrol in a school for a term only or how one would go about this? TIA

All the decent schools are full, and given the differences in curriculum, it would be difficult (to say the least) for him not to loose a whole term's worth of education.
.
Besides - the school would not get funded for this, so I'd expect the answers to be negative, except for fee paying schools.

What might be a better idea is a summer swap with someone with a similar aged teenager. A few weeks in a French speaking family where they have a bit more time to devote to the French aspect should go a lot further than a busy school term.
