Starting Primary Education at Age Six
In Luxembourg, children typically begin primary education at six years old, following the completion of preschool. This stage focuses on developing fundamental skills in literacy, numeracy, and social interaction, providing a solid base for future learning.
Choosing the Right Secondary School
The transition to secondary education is a significant step that requires careful consideration. Parents and students should evaluate various factors, including the school’s curriculum, language of instruction, extracurricular offerings, and overall environment, to ensure it aligns with the student’s interests and academic goals.
Attending School Open Days
Participating in school open days is an excellent way to gather firsthand information. These events allow families to tour facilities, meet educators, and gain insights into the school’s culture and educational approach. The Maison de l’Orientation provides a comprehensive calendar of open days for secondary schools in 2025, which is a valuable resource for planning visits.
