Luxembourg City - School Report Question and Answers
Are the admissions and placement procedures clearly stated to prospective families, either on the school website or through other means of communication?
Prospective parents / bidders must understand that ISL *absolutely* requires an in-person interview with all candidates (even for pre-K & K) and their parents, and that the USG will *not* pay for the trip to Luxembourg for the interview. Admission is on a space-available basis, and ISL refuses Office of Overseas Schools assistance, so it is not bound to admit children of US diplomats. Because of limited space and high demand, ISL can pick and choose whom they want to admit, and the Admissions office made an arrogant impression. That said, once the children are admitted, things seem to run smoothly. - Oct 2016
Seems ok, although we had to accept within 24 hours and sign the contract quite quickly after getting accepted (and pay a huge deposit). - Mar 2016
B+ - Seems to be ok - haven't heard of favoritism. - Sep 2012
B.There does seem to be a little bit of preferential treatment going on that I don't quite understand, but overall it has been quite excellent. - Nov 2011
