About The International School of Luxembourg

ISL is a member of a unique class of educational institutions that proudly include the word "international" in their name.

We are a Preschool to Grade 12 school with an outstanding pedagogical approach to learning in the early years (Lower School), and a rigorous, globally conscious, university-preparatory curriculum for growing teens (Middle and High School).

As an IBO World School we ensure our graduates are offered a preparation for life-long learning based on the highest global standards and the best-practices of international schools world-wide.

Founded in 1963, ISL has earned its outstanding reputation through its students’ successes, its rigorous educational programme, its dedicated staff, its caring community and its engagement with global issues. With over 50 nationalities in our student body and more than 20 nationalities within our staff, friendship, international mindedness, diversity and inclusion are ways of life in our multicultural environment.

The school is organised in two divisions of similar size. The Lower School extends from pre-school (age 3) through grade 5. The Upper School includes both middle school (grades 6-8) and high school (grades 9-12) programmes. Total school enrolment is almost 1400. ISL is housed in a modern, fully networked facility on a centrally located campus. The academic year runs from late August to late June and classes are in session between 8:25 am and 3:30 pm Monday-Friday.

What we offer

ISL offers a standards-based university preparatory curriculum leading to the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma or IB Certificates and the ISL High School Diploma. The IB serves as a qualification for universities worldwide, thereby meeting the needs of our diverse student body. A comprehensive English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme makes it possible for non-native speakers of English to integrate fully into the curriculum as well as the social life of the school.

Working at ISL

We aim to recruit and retain the very best professionals to make ISL the school of choice in international education.

The school is fortunate to employ around 300 outstanding teachers, support staff and administrator.

Our faculty and staff come from more than two dozen different countries. Their international background and experience contribute to a learning environment that responds to the students' cultural diversity and meets the needs of an international student population.

ISL educators are trained and certified in their respective fields and more than half of them hold Masters' degrees. Our faculty and staff average 18 years of experience in education with eight of them at ISL. Some teachers come to Luxembourg for just a few years and then move on to new positions elsewhere. Others remain at ISL for much of their career: 12% of the teaching staff has served the school for 20 years or more. In recent years ISL has created a number of new positions in response to increasing enrolment, however staff turnover is actually rather low.

As an organisation with a strong commitment to lifelong learning, ISL recognises the importance of professional development. The school encourages faculty and staff to extend their professional expertise and personal growth by providing opportunities and support for continuing education.
