1. A school situated on the continent of Europe. Often paid for by the government and offering more often than not a decent education.
2. European schools are a specific type of
international school. They are created and paid for by the European Union, for the children of its employees, who attend for free. They get an
extraordinary education, while the poor peasants outside of the EU-employee-bubble are forced to attend
public schools. There are thirteen of them across five european countries, four of them being in Brussels. The worst one of course, is situated in what Trump was talking about when calling Brussels a shithole - the "suburb" of Ixelles. The schools offer a 'european baccalaureate', a high school degree valid in all EU member states. Accredited schools also exist, they offer the same diploma but are in every other way inferior.
The children going to these schools are invariably self important snotty brats.

Me: "Goddamn it, these
european schools are jamming up traffic again!"
