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 has an agreement with the 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 application period is strictly kept to 4 weeks each Spring.

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.
