International education can help bridge the cultural and linguistic divides that exist not only within Europe but also globally. In Luxembourg, parents can choose from a diverse range of publicly funded international schools, which allow students to complete their secondary school education in English and at least one additional language.

 

"I often get emails from prospective parents abroad saying that they couldn't find the price for the school fees on our website, " says Joanne Goebbels, Coordinator of the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma programme at the Athénée de Luxembourg. "They are quite astonished when I tell them it is free and that the Luxembourg government invests in such an expensive programme of studies," she adds.

 

The IB is the new gold standard for entry to the world's top universities. Notoriously expensive to deliver, due to the substantial teaching time required, the qualification offers a breadth and depth of understanding that provides students with the skills they will need in further education and beyond.

Luxembourg: Three new free-of-charge international schools to open next year

Luxembourg: Three new free-of-charge international schools to open next year | Luxembourg (Europe) | Scoop.it

The schools cover three language sections as well as primary and secondary education.

 

The schools will be introduced in Junglinster, Mondorf and Clervaux and will be free-of-charge and open from September 2018, the education ministry confirmed to the Luxemburger Wort on Thursday.

 

In Junglinster, an English and a German section will be available for primary and secondary years and pupils will join those in the local system in the Lënster Lycée building. The ministry is looking for an additional building for the new primary section but the existing secondary school has the capacity to accommodate all pupils in the first instance.

 

An English, French and German section will open in Mondorf, where a new building is being constructed. It has not yet been decided if the school in Mondorf will have both primary and secondary levels.
