Luxembourg · Mersch
EIMAB is a public school in central Luxembourg. Its 2026–27 offer covers P1–P5 and S1–S6, with weekly boarding available separately. Families should confirm the requested language section and its accreditation status in writing.
École Internationale Mersch Anne Beffort, usually called EIMAB, is a co-educational Luxembourg public school. It follows the European Schools curriculum, but it is not one of Luxembourg’s two Type I European Schools.
The distinction matters for admissions and fees. EIMAB says its primary and secondary school are open to all and do not charge registration or tuition fees. The Category I–III rules used by Type I schools do not apply here.
Primary is at 46 rue de la Gare. Secondary and the boarding residence are at Square Princesse Marie-Astrid. Confirm the correct site before testing a commute or signing a housing contract.
The current primary page lists P1–P5 for 2026–27. It offers French-speaking and English-speaking sections for children aged 6 to 11.
The child’s dominant language determines the section. Pupils also choose a different second language, or L2. Luxembourgish is compulsory as an integration language throughout primary school.
The French 2026–27 school offer lists S1–S6 in French, German and English. It also lists a French preparatory route, a welcome class and CTSA provision.
The general secondary page explains the full S1–S7 European Schools curriculum. It describes S6–S7 as the two-year cycle leading to the European Baccalaureate.
That curriculum description does not prove that every year and language section is operating or accredited. Families considering S6 should ask which subjects and combinations are available to the actual cohort.
The current European Schools location record accredits EIMAB from nursery through S5. It lists only French and English language sections.
This is narrower than EIMAB’s advertised 2026–27 offer. The April 2025 Board of Governors summary says the Board approved EIMAB’s S6–S7 Dossier of Conformity.
Approval of that dossier is an important procedural step. However, the public location record does not yet show an additional S6–S7 accreditation agreement or a German section.
Ask EIMAB for written confirmation covering the requested year, language section and qualification. Until the official record is updated, do not assume that every advertised class carries the same accreditation status.
The EURSC record also mentions nursery, while EIMAB’s current primary offer begins at P1. Families seeking an early-years place should ask whether any nursery class actually operates.
Applications begin on the school’s online portal. The landing page provides French, English and German application forms.
It does not publish one current deadline, an oversubscription order or a complete document list. It also does not promise that submitting a form secures a place.
Contact contact@eimab.lu before applying. Ask about the entry year, language assessment, available places, required records and the decision timetable.
For secondary entry, also ask how prior languages and subjects map into the requested section. This becomes especially important in the option years and before S6.
Primary publishes general, moderate and intensive educational support. Intensive support follows medical, psychological or multidisciplinary evidence.
At secondary level, the School Life Service describes pastoral care, inclusion, guidance and several levels of learning support. It also provides targeted French integration support for some new pupils in S1 and S2.
These descriptions show a support structure, not guaranteed capacity for every need. Share reports early and request a written explanation of staffing, adjustments and any limits for the proposed placement.
EIMAB describes its secondary provision as a full-time school. Supervised study and activities are built around the timetable, although the exact schedule varies by year.
Primary pupils can use the separate SEA care service outside compulsory school hours. It requires a family contribution through Luxembourg’s service-voucher system.
EIMAB’s residence operates during term from Sunday at 20:00 until Friday at 18:00. It is weekly boarding, not seven-day accommodation.
The residence can accept pupils from primary, secondary and vocational education. They may attend EIMAB or another state, European or international school. EIMAB pupils receive priority.
The public boarding page does not state charges, age limits or room availability. Ask separately about fees, deposits, meals, laundry, supervision, transport and notice terms.
Families also need a reliable Friday collection and Sunday return plan. Confirm all school-holiday closures before relying on boarding for relocation logistics.
EIMAB’s school offer says primary has no registration fee and secondary has no tuition fee. These statements concern public schooling, not every service a family may use.
SEA care requires a contribution. Current boarding, meal and other incidental charges are not presented as a complete public fee schedule on the pages reviewed.
Obtain a written quotation for all relevant services. Ask whether charges differ for pupils attending another school and whether any payment is refundable.
EIMAB is particularly relevant for families living in central or northern Luxembourg. Its public European curriculum and weekly residence create a combination that is unusual in the country.
The main decision is not simply “European curriculum or not.” Families must match the child to an operating year, a suitable language section and a workable weekly routine.
Compare École internationale Gaston Thorn for Luxembourg City and École Internationale Edward Steichen for the north. Their related curricula do not make the journeys or language offers interchangeable.
Use the Mersch overview and Luxembourg guide for wider planning. Before accepting a place, get the exact accreditation, admissions conditions and full cost in writing.
Official pages and documents we read. If a figure matters to your budget or your application, open the link and confirm it is still current.
Friendly orientation, not an application. Dates, fees, and programme details move. Confirm everything with the school.
The Athénée is a state secondary school with a seven-year English-medium route towards the IB Diploma. It is attractive on cost, but admission is selective and French remains important. The published 2026 second round was only for Grades 10 and 11.
DifferdangeEIDE is a Luxembourg public school from M1 through S7. It operates in Differdange, Esch-sur-Alzette and Schifflange, with French, English and secondary-level German sections. Its current admissions page still shows the closed 2026 window and an older 2025–26 site table.
ClervauxÉcole Internationale Edward Steichen offers the European Schools curriculum without tuition fees in northern Luxembourg. English and French sections begin in nursery, while the German section begins in secondary. Families need to check language readiness, the correct application route and practical travel between home and the two sites.
LuxembourgEIGT is a tuition-free public day school following the European Schools curriculum. Primary operates in Cessange and Kirchberg, while secondary uses Merl and a Walferdange annex. Its latest admissions window has closed, and the official accreditation record currently ends at S5.
Mersch sits in the Alzette valley in the middle of the country, on the railway between Luxembourg City and Ettelbruck. That makes it a realistic base for families who want a public European-curriculum school and a train commute in either direction.
8 minStart with the child and a realistic weekly timetable. Then confirm who provides care, which nights are covered, and what happens when plans change.
7 minStart with the qualification your child would actually receive. Then check its subjects, language demands, and recognition in the countries where they may study next.
7 minStart with your child and the family's likely plans. Define the non-negotiables, verify the school's claims, compare three realistic options and visit with specific questions.
