Luxembourg · Mondorf-les-Bains
École Internationale Mondorf-les-Bains is a public school offering European education without tuition fees. Its southeast location, language provision and available places are the practical deciding factors. Accreditation does not mean every year group is currently open to new applicants.
École Internationale Mondorf-les-Bains, or EIMLB, is a public day school at 2, route de Burmerange, L-5659 Mondorf-les-Bains. It offers the European Schools curriculum in southeast Luxembourg.
The education ministry identifies EIMLB as an international state school without tuition fees. Its French guidance also confirms that these schools charge no registration fee. Regular attendance is therefore tuition-free and has no registration charge.
The most useful starting points are the child’s teaching language, entry year and daily journey. A public offer open to all does not mean every applicant has a guaranteed place.
EIMLB is worth considering for a family based in southeast Luxembourg who wants multilingual European education through the end of secondary school. Test the journey from the home you would actually use.
Compare it with other public European schools when their locations work better. Do not choose between Mondorf and Differdange on the assumption that only one is free: both belong to the public offer.
European School Luxembourg I and Luxembourg II have their own admission arrangements. EIMLB’s accreditation does not make their pupil categories or application procedures applicable here.
The European primary cycle has five years, P1–P5. Secondary years are labelled S1–S7, ending with the European Baccalaureate.
The ministry lists French and English sections from primary at EIMLB, with a German section from secondary. However, the school’s current admissions notice names only French and English when discussing full classes.
That omission does not prove that German teaching is unavailable. Ask which German year groups operate and whether a place exists in the one your child needs.
The European Schools accreditation record covers nursery through the European Baccalaureate. It records the first Baccalaureate session in 2025.
Accreditation is broader than the current application offer: the school advertises primary and secondary entry, not nursery entry. Confirm the youngest available year and its age requirement before planning preschool enrolment.
The European Baccalaureate is the final qualification here. It is distinct from the International Baccalaureate Diploma, British A levels and the French baccalauréat.
In the school’s terminology, L1 identifies the main language section. L2 is an additional language that also becomes a teaching language for some secondary subjects. L3 is a further language.
Ask the school how it determines the child’s initial section and what language assessment or prior reports it needs. Do not assume a preferred section can simply be changed later.
The language-change policy permits section changes only in justified exceptional cases. Changes to L2 are described as extremely rare and require formal approval.
For changes from P5 into S1, or during S2–S5, requests must reach school administration by 1 June for the following school year. Changes take effect only at the start of a school year.
There are no subject or language changes during S1. A placement test may be required for an eligible request, and the class council makes the final decision. Submitting the form is not approval.
The school’s live page still concerns 2026–27. As checked on 5 September 2026, it gives the following information:
| Entry or status | Published position |
|---|---|
| Current pupils | Automatically re-enrolled for 2026–27 |
| Primary applications | Pre-registration from 1–15 March 2026, closing at 23:59 |
| P1 documents | Include Cycle 1 or preschool reports |
| English and French P2–P5 | Described as full, with possible vacancies in July |
| Secondary applications | Opened 1 March; no closing date stated on this page |
| English and French S1 | Described as full, with possible vacancies in July |
| S2–S6 | A limited number of places advertised |
March and July have both passed. The page does not establish whether its advertised vacancies remain available in September. Nor does the absence of a secondary closing date establish that applications are still being accepted.
New applications must go through the school’s enrolment portal. Incomplete files are not reviewed, and admissions communication is by email.
Before sending a late application, ask the admissions team which route remains open and which documents are required for the child’s grade. The published notice does not explain new entry into S7.
For 2027 entry, wait for the new calendar or obtain written guidance. Do not reuse the 2026 dates with a different year.
The on-site Service d’éducation et d’accueil (SEA) provides care for primary pupils, described by the school as ages 6–12. Prior registration is required.
The service includes morning reception, a hot lunch, supervised activities and homework support. Holiday provision includes outings and projects. Children do not need to change buildings to reach the care service.
The English page contains an obvious reversal of a.m. and p.m. in the term-time opening hours. Confirm the actual hours rather than treating that sentence as a usable timetable.
For school holidays, it states 07:00–19:00. The service closes on public holidays and from 24 December through 1 January inclusive.
The school’s Support Team works with pupils who have specific educational needs. It uses assessments, classroom observations and discussions with families and teachers to plan support.
The team also coordinates applications for accommodations through school and national inclusion bodies. It liaises with the European Schools authorities over Baccalaureate accommodations.
These services are useful evidence of an organised support process, not a promise that every need can be met in every class. Share existing reports and ask what provision is available for this child.
Plan on a day-school arrangement at the published route de Burmerange address. Do not treat a future construction announcement as an available boarding place.
A government announcement dated 11 June 2026 describes a financing proposal for new facilities, including a sports boarding facility with up to 83 beds.
The announcement concerns planned infrastructure and sports-related accommodation. It does not provide a current boarding application route, general boarding entitlement or opening date.
It is a weaker fit if the family needs confirmed nursery entry, immediate boarding or an easy later switch of teaching language. Resolve those points before making housing decisions.
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.
Mondorf-les-Bains is a small spa town on the French border in Luxembourg's south-east, close to the Moselle wine villages around Remich. It has no railway, so it suits families whose week is centred on the south-east, and its free public European school is the main reason international families look here.
