Pre-registrations for 2026/2027
Located at the heart of Europe, Vauban welcomes pupils from nearly 50 nationalities and who speak more than 30 different languages.
Multilingualism and openness to the world and to different cultures are among the key priorities of our school.
All of Vauban’s pupils learn two languages, one of which is English. At kindergarten, they are introduced to Luxembourgish. In CP, they have the choice between continuing in this language until CM2 or starting German.
All modern foreign languages are taught in small groups. Emphasis is placed on developing pupils’ spoken language skills.
The teaching objectives are defined beyond the official French educational directives and in accordance with the broad guidelines of AEFE.
As an AEFE-accredited PARLE institution, Vauban offers a tailored and enhanced foreign-language pathway from CE1 to Seconde, with increased teaching hours in English and the weekly teaching of one subject in English.
The aim is to strengthen all our pupils’ English language skills, to open up opportunities for entry into the British international section or one of the European sections, and to support them in preparing for Cambridge and/or IELTS certification.

A bilingual and bicultural programme of excellence
This section aims to provide an excellent pathway for learning the English language and British culture. In addition to developing linguistic and multicultural skills, the international section offers the opportunity to follow a demanding programme with a global perspective.
Subjects taught in English
The teaching of language & literature follows the British curriculum and pedagogical approaches. History and geography meet the requirements of the French curriculum, but the subjects are explored through examples from English-speaking countries.
Admission
This section is intended for pupils with proven English-language skills who show a strong interest in the literature and culture of English-speaking countries.
Admission covers a three-year cycle. At the end of 6ème, students’ English proficiency is assessed to determine whether they can continue in this section.
Candidates take a language test in the spring, and admission is granted following review of the students’ records.
Criteria
Every year, Vauban establishes partnerships and collaborations with schools in Luxembourg, Europe and Asia as part of the language programme from kindergarten to the end of high school.
These connections promote authentic communication in the languages studied by the students. They take the form of in-person meetings at schools or other locations, video-conference discussions or exchanges of e-mails and letters on shared projects. These immersive experiences also allow pupils to discover different ways of life at school and in society, with the aim of fostering their cultural and international awareness.
