Schools in Detail European Schools of Luxembourg + http://www.euroschool.lu/esluxone/Home/home.html + http://www.eel2.eu/en

The European Schools of Luxembourg are private-authority schools, which emphasize a multilingual and multicultural pedagogical approach to the teaching of nursery, primary and secondary students, leading to the European Baccalaureate as their secondary leaving qualification. All applicants fall under the following three categories depending on their parents’ employer: + Category I: parents work for EU institutions based in Luxembourg + Category II: parents work for a company that have signed an agreement with the European School + Category III: any other applicants who would like to study in the European School + Category I and II have different advantages, such as tuition fees being covered by the employer in full or part, the possibility of mid-year admission or a guaranteed place in school. Note: Amazon falls under Category III. Category III does not have an advantage of guaranteed places compared to Category I and II where applications are treated with priority, and Category III is not entitled to mid-year admissions. The Ministry of Education reserves some places in the main language stream every year. If a pupil is rejected by other international schools or is unable to enroll in their system due to lack of language skills, CASNA (see page 3) can be contacted. CASNA will make an appeal for a place in the European School in one of the main language sections: German, French or English. However, all decisions are made by the school board.

Teaching in English, German and French languages, the school offers free education to the children of international families living in the southern part of the country. The education system is similar to the one of the European schools, but no tuition fees. 2018/19 Primary Secondary P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 S1 S2 S3 VP1 VP2 English Dd/Esch Dd/Esch Dd/Esch Esch Esch Dd Dd Dd Dd Dd French Dd/Esch Dd/Esch Dd/Esch Esch Esch Dd/Esch Dd/Esch Dd Dd Dd German - - - - - Esch Esch - Esch Esch Dd = Differdange Esch = Esch-sur-Alzette Dd/Esch = Differdange and Esch-sur-Alzette schools both have these classes VP = Preparatory classes
