Luxembourg · Kirchberg
This is a Type 1 European School on Kirchberg, not the Mamer/Bertrange house and not a fee-paying IB campus. The leaving diploma is the European Baccalaureate. Category I is fee-exempt. The 2026–27 enrolment window is already closed. The Board table and the school’s own form print different Category III euros.

European School Luxembourg I is a Type 1 European School, not a private IB campus and not European School Luxembourg II. Official site euroschool.lu. Address the EURSC location page and the 2026–27 admission rules print: 23, Boulevard Konrad Adenauer, L-1115 Luxembourg. Kirchberg. Phone +352 4320 82 1. Fax +352 4320 82 344. Parents’ association: apeeel1.lu.
It is a day school. There is no boarding house. If the posting has not found a flat, Kirchberg will not absorb the child.
Director on the EURSC location page we opened: Ariane Farinelle. Nursery and primary deputy: Sandra Ribic. Assistant: Nathalie José. Secondary deputy: Carole Lemarié. Assistant: Jesus Antonio Coll Marmol. Finance: Paul Krippler. We will not reprint an older director name from a page we did not open today.
The useful questions are Luxembourg-European questions. Are you Category I, II or III? Which language section is this child’s dominant language — and is that section only on Kirchberg, only in Bertrange, or in both houses? And do you understand that a DE, EN or FR file from a new resident is, in principle, sent to Luxembourg II?
The European Schools were set up for children of people who work for a European institution. Everyone else applies into remaining places. Luxembourg has two traditional houses. They share one 2026–27 admission text.
Category I — a parent is a member of staff of a European institution or a related organisation, employed directly and continuously for a minimum of one year, as the joint rules print it. Fee-exempt. Confirm the letter.
Category II — a signed agreement. The 2026/27 Board table prints a new-contract Luxembourg line of €16,306.32. The current-contract cell is still tba. Ask which contract this employer actually has.
Category III — other families, if places remain. The Directors look at Category I and II first. Priority goes to undersubscribed sections. No Category III pupil may be admitted into a class which already has 27 or more pupils. Admission is case by case.
It will not suit a family who only want the International School of Luxembourg because the glass looked kinder on a June map, or St George’s Luxembourg because the classroom is English. Walk those if that is the climate. They share a ring road and almost no Monday.
Luxembourg II is the other Type 1 house. The EURSC title still says Mamer. The 2026–27 admission rules print 6, rue Gaston Thorn, L-8268 Bertrange. We will not flatten those two lines into one suburb. Same family of European Baccalaureate. Different address, different exclusive sections.
The International School of Luxembourg is a fee-paying international. Kirchberg is a European School. Category I is not a tour of ISL.
Vauban is the AEFE-homologué French lycée. A French section at Luxembourg I is not the French Bac. Families looking at one often also walk the other, because the paper and the canteen language are not the same conversation.
Kirchberg, Boulevard Konrad Adenauer — EU offices and a school gate, not the Mamer/Bertrange plateau. Time that 7:45 from the commune you can actually live in. Luxembourg is small on a map and long in a school-run jam.
The 2026–27 application pack: beginning of the school year Wednesday 2 September 2026. The memorandum prints a nursery first-year start that same Wednesday at 8:30.
Nursery and primary enrolments on Kirchberg, as the joint pack prints them: Maria Stathaki, +352 4320 82 270, LUX-ENROLMENT-NURSERY-PRIMARY@eursc.eu. Secondary: Elizabeth Ruiz Salas, +352 4320 82 224, LUX-ENROLMENT-SECONDARY@eursc.eu. Subject choices S1–S3: Jean-Noël Federspiel. S4–S7: Daniel Alcazar.
It is not a through-train you pick by preference if the child’s section lives only in the other house.
The 2026–27 rules are blunt about who sits where.
Only Luxembourg I: BG, ES, ET, FI, LT, LV, NL, PL, PT, SV — language sections and/or mother tongues, as that page prints them.
Only Luxembourg II: CS, DA, EL, HR, HU, IT, RO, SK, SL.
Both houses: DE, EN, FR — the vehicular sections. Applications for those three may be sent to either school. Submission is no guarantee of that address. The two directorates distribute the files together.
SWALS — students without a language section — go to the school where their mother tongue is taught.
New residents in DE, EN or FR: in principle Luxembourg II, unless rule 1 (single section / SWALS) says otherwise. “New resident,” the rules say: the legal representatives do not have their principal residence in the Grand Duchy or the immediate vicinity when the file is submitted.
Old residents in those three sections are split by the N–S line on the map appended to the rules. Open that map. Do not invent which side of the line your commune sits on.
ONL — Irish, Maltese, Finnish/Swedish, Catalan — is offered in both schools, subject to teacher availability. Only Category I and II are entitled to ONL. Category III may join an existing course; a course will not be organised only for them.
Place the child in the language they actually live in. A wish is not a section.
The joint 2026–27 window: Monday 2 March to Friday 27 March 2026. That window is already history. Files were to be handled from 13 April. Replies by Friday 12 June 2026. The rules asked parents not to call the two secretariats before that date.
An incomplete file at the deadline is not treated as on time. Files completed later: 6 to 8 working weeks, and no answer before 12 June 2026.
Pupils already in the nursery cycle in 2025–26 move to primary 1 without re-enrolment. Language 2 and religion/ethics forms go out in class.
We will not invent a 2027 window the live inscription page has not yet printed. Read euroschool.lu/inscription.
Category I pays no Board minerval.
The memorandum points families to eursc.eu under Enrolment and Fees, and says the Board has set Category III fees for 2026–2027. The EURSC table we opened prints, for pupils newly enrolled as Category III from 2013/2014 onwards:
| Cycle | Board 2026/27 |
|---|---|
| Nursery | €4,457.80 |
| Primary | €6,129.55 |
| Secondary | €8,358.46 |
The school’s own 2026/2027 enrolment form prints a different Category III block, labelled “Other category III parents”: nursery €4,300.47, primary €5,913.21, secondary €8,063.46. A NATO/NSPA civilian-staff line on the same form is twice those figures. We will not flatten the Board table and the form into one invoice. Open both. Ask the school which euro arrives.
Second child 20% off. Third and later 40%. The form: that reduction does not include the other school costs.
25% is the deposit, and it is not reimbursable. The papers do not all print the same day:
The 75% balance: the memorandum says no later than 30 days after the October invoice. A written request by 31 August can split that 75% into four dates the same page prints: 30 November 2026, 31 December 2026, 31 January 2027, 28 February 2027. The instalment form sits on the inscription page.
The memorandum’s own warning: no child admitted in September 2026 if the deposit is unpaid. Unpaid invoices by 1 September: treated as removed from the register.
The memorandum also prints a 2% annual indexation sentence. Treat that as the school’s own note, not as a 2027 table we will invent.
European Baccalaureate registration, year 7, all categories: €108.10 for the 2027 Baccalaureate, on the October invoice, due 31 March of the relevant year.
Category I does not pay the minerval. Ask whether other school costs still arrive. We will not guess.
The European Baccalaureate. That is not the IB at ISL, not A Levels at St George’s, and not the French Bac at Vauban. A child can, in the European Schools sentence, return to a national system at a later stage. That is not a promise we will translate into a Luxembourgish lycée place.
Ask whether this is Category I, II or III — those are three invoices. Ask which section language this child actually lives in, and whether that section exists only on Kirchberg. Ask, if the section is DE, EN or FR, whether the family is a new resident under the 2026–27 definition. Ask which Category III euro the school will actually invoice — the Board table or the form. Ask which 25% date applies to this file. Ask how much French or German a shy seven-year-old will really have by the second spring if the section is English. Ask what happens if the posting ends in November.
We are not ranking Kirchberg against Bertrange. We are not inventing a Category III waitlist.
Read the live inscription page, the 2026–27 admission rules, and the Board fee table before you resign a Kirchberg flat. This is a map. The school still has to be the right Tuesday.

Luxembourg is not one international campus. It is an English National Curriculum house and an IB house, both in the city, both already counting a state subsidy. The commute is short on a map and long at 8:10.
17 minAs duas têm crianças de muitos países e um diploma que viaja. A semelhança acaba aí. Uma é um sistema público feito para famílias das instituições da UE. A outra é um mercado em que se paga para entrar.
15 minAs letras do diploma importam. Não são a criança inteira. Aqui vai como distingui-las sem dor de cabeça, e sem fingir que todas as portas continuam abertas.
16 minNão precisam de um algoritmo perfeito. Precisam de algumas verdades sobre o vosso filho, uma lista aborrecida no frigorífico, e a coragem de ignorar um campus bonito que não serve.
