About the kindergarten (Age 3 – 5)

Teaching cycles

Primary education lasts for eight years – three years of kindergarten followed by five years of elementary school – and is structured into three cycles. Organising this education into cycles allows teachers to work as a team and introduce greater flexibility in the progression of the different stages of learning.

Descriptions of the kindergarten curriculum

Language learning

Given the multilingual nature of life in Luxembourg, language learning is one of Vauban’s key priorities. From Petite Section in kindergarten, children are offered an introduction to Luxembourgish and English.

From elementary school, families are offered pathways centred on the different languages taught at the school.

The teaching objectives are defined beyond the official French educational directives and in accordance with the broad guidelines of AEFE.
