From the Director
Dear Parents, Prospective Parents
and Friends of ISL,
The International School of Luxembourg has earned its outstanding reputation through the engagement and successes of its students, its rich and rigorous educational programme, its dedicated world class staff, its stimulating learning environment, its international and multi-cultural perspective, and its dedication to genuine engagement in global issues and responsibility.
At ISL we inspire and encourage our students to become engaged in both academic and enriching extra-curricular programmes. We set high expectations for students, enabling them to reach their true potential and we are constantly rewarded by their achievements and successes, great and small.
We have over 40 nationalities within our student body and more than 20 nationalities within our staff. In this marvellously rich multi-cultural environment, understanding, acceptance and friendship are a way of life.
Our international curriculum is under constant review in order to ensure that we are not only in tune with, but are at the forefront of, current educational best practice. The curriculum progressively develops student learning, understanding, curiosity and reflection, always focused upon developing the whole person and culminates with the International Baccalaureate Diploma in the final two years.
In addition to academics, ISL offers an extensive extra-curricular programme, which provides further opportunities for students to reach the very highest levels of achievement and performance. For example, in the field of music, students have numerous opportunities to perform in instrumental groups and choirs. A number of our students regularly qualify to participate and perform in prestigious international music festivals. Similarly, in the world of sport students may participate in a wide range of competitive and recreational athletic activities.
We work in partnership with our parent community, offering a welcome, a meeting point and numerous ways for parents to share in their children's learning. We are strongly supported by a proactive Board of Governors and we have a dynamic Parent Teacher Organisation. Parents are also involved in assisting with class trips and activities, and our Learning Assistance Programme relies heavily upon the skills and good will of our parent community.
Our host country, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, demonstrates its generous support for ISL through the provision of our buildings on the Geesseknaeppchen Campus and through significant assistance with the expansion and further development of our facilities necessitated by the continued strong growth in our student numbers.
