What are the schools in Luxembourg like?

"The International School of Luxembourg (ISL) is one of the best international schools in Luxembourg. It is a non-profit, co-educational day school offering an international curriculum for students from pre-school to grade 12. ISL is accredited by the Council of International Schools and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. It offers a rigorous academic program, with a strong emphasis on language development, and a wide range of extracurricular activities. The European School Luxembourg I is another excellent international school in Luxembourg. It is a bilingual school offering instruction in English and French, and is accredited by the European Schools system. It offers a comprehensive curriculum, with a focus on language development, and a wide range of extracurricular activities. The Lycée Michel Rodange is a bilingual school offering instruction in French and German. It is accredited by the Ministry of Education and offers a comprehensive curriculum, with a focus on language development, and a wide range of extracurricular activities. The International School of Luxembourg II is a private, co-educational day school offering an international curriculum for students from pre-school to grade 12. It is accredited by the Council of International Schools and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. It offers a rigorous academic program, with a strong emphasis on language development, and a wide range of extracurricular activities," said one expat in with children at .

"People in the US romanticize Europe and assume the educational system is so much better. It's not. The experience of living abroad, traveling and meeting lots of smart, successful executive-level families from a wide variety of cultures... that's what makes it great. But ISL is an average school. They do a lovely job with artistic performances in music, art, theater. There is much to see in the area of visible relics of history and the school does a good job with field trips and relevant history/science lessons. If your expectation is to find a school that exceeds US academic standards, you will be disappointed. If your company is willing to cover the school cost and your kids will either remain in the International school system throughout or are young enough to have a few moderately paced school years, then the experience itself is worth it. Good luck," remarked one parent with kids at International School of Luxembourg in Luxembourg.
