International admissions can be reached at admissions@lml.lu. The primary office also lists +352 28 83 15-705, and the international secondary office +352 28 83 15-521. The secretariat is open 07:30–16:30 during term time. Check the journey to the appropriate site rather than treating the two addresses as interchangeable.
The international stream teaches in English. Its secondary pathway leads through Cambridge IGCSE, subject-based secondary qualifications, to AS and A-Levels, advanced subject qualifications. This is not an IB Diploma or European Baccalaureate route. The national stream instead leads toward the Luxembourg Diplôme de fin d’études secondaires.
The international FAQ was last updated in April 2023 and draws on a 2017 interview. It describes a route suited to some newcomers who do not yet know the languages of Luxembourg’s national system, or families seeking internationally recognised qualifications taught in English. It also warns that French, German and Luxembourgish are not taught to the same extent as in the national system. Confirm current provision rather than treating the older FAQ as a new handbook.
The FAQ describes English immersion with English as an Additional Language (EAL) support for selected pupils. Older applicants, particularly for A-Level study, undergo language testing. Entry part-way through an IGCSE or A-Level course is described as more difficult.
Its language sequence is:
Applications for both international primary and secondary closed on 15 March 2026, with decisions scheduled for mid-May. These published dates do not establish a 2027 application window or a late-entry procedure.
The 2026 instructions allow a previous application to be reactivated by email to admissions@lml.lu, supplying the child’s name, requested year for September 2026, updated documents and changes to school, contacts or special educational needs (SEN).
New applications require:
Documents must be in English, German or French, with translations for other languages. They must be PDF files; phone photographs are not accepted.
Admission is by application only. The older FAQ describes unusually high demand and an admissions process under review with other public international schools. It says the length of the family’s stay in Luxembourg is relevant and describes cooperation with other schools when a class is full, naming Differdange’s school as EIDD, now listed here as EIDE. This is not a guaranteed alternative place.
The national 6G–1G general-secondary stream has a separate procedure. Its 2026–27 page lists 16, 17 and 20 July, subject to confirmation. Those dates do not apply to the international application.
The school is state-funded. The cited international admissions pages do not list a registration fee; ask about any remaining charges directly.
The dated FAQ describes free secondary school buses from communes across the country, including the south, and free after-school clubs. Both sites have canteens, but the cited information does not give meal prices.
Primary transport is arranged through Daycare Arcus. The FAQ gives primary daycare hours of 07:00–19:00, without establishing the shuttle or care price here. Confirm current routes, hours, places and charges with the provider.
The Athénée de Luxembourg offers a different public IB route; International School of Luxembourg and St George’s Luxembourg are private alternatives with their own curricula and fees.
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.
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.
Luxembourg CityLuxembourg I offers a multilingual route to the European Baccalaureate on Kirchberg. Language and residence rules determine placement between the two European Schools. Category I is exempt from tuition, while Category III families need confirmation of available places and conflicting 2026–27 fee information.
Luxembourg CityISL offers English-medium day schooling for ages 3–18, with most pupils taking the IB Diploma in Grades 11–12. French and additional-language requirements deserve close attention. The published fees already reflect state subsidy; compulsory extras and withdrawal terms also affect the budget.
Compare private English and French schools with public international and European routes. Eligibility, language section and leaving qualification matter as much as tuition.
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.
7 minTuition is only one line of the budget. Separate charges from advance payments, record what each figure includes, and ask the school to confirm your calculation in writing.
