About The International School of Luxembourg
The International School of Luxembourg (ISL) is an independent, non-profit, day school situated in the city of Luxembourg, capital of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
Founded in 1963, ISL has been an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School since 1995, offering both the IB Diploma Programme (DP) and the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP). The school is currently working towards accreditation for the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP).
ISL has two sections: the Lower School, and the Upper School, the latter comprising of Middle School and High School. Total school enrolment is approximately 1,350 students, aged 3-18 years. The ISL student body represents more than 60 nationalities, with 70% of students coming from extended Europe.
Working at ISL
We want to recruit and retain superlative professionals in order to bring to life the best of international education. The quality of our educational programme can only be as high as the quality of our staff.
ISL is keen to attract well qualified applicants from a range of different backgrounds, including candidates whose gender, race, nationality or identity is currently under-represented in international school leadership.
The school is fortunate to employ around 300 outstanding teachers, support staff and administrators.
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.
