It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Pre-enrolment for the next school year: Applications must be submitted online only, from the opening date, via the Start my online application button at the bottom of the page. This applies to all new students, including siblings of children already enrolled at Vauban. Prepare your child's pre-enrolment by reviewing curriculum descriptions per level, language pathways, and the fees simulator, and write a short personal message explaining why you want to join Vauban. A separate online file must be created for each child. 2. Re-enrolment of a Vauban student for the next school year: Re-enrolments are carried out online via the Restricted area (or by clicking the Re-enrolment button at the bottom of the page). Families will receive an e-mail specifying the start date for the re-enrolments. Re-enrolments for siblings must be carried out separately. 3. Admissions during the year: If you are considering enrolling your child at Vauban during the school year, our academic secretaries are available to answer your questions and advise you on your enrolment options. Their contact details are at the bottom of the page. They can be reached to discuss current availability and required information. 4. Admissions procedure: Open to all nationalities; Admission is open to students from other education systems as well as those coming from AEFE, France's education system, provided they pass the entrance tests. Only online applications with a complete file will be considered. The child's legal domicile must be in Luxembourg at the start of the school year, though the school may consider other situations, subject to available places. Admission in Petite Section (age 3 by 1 September) is available. 5. Confirm your enrolment: An enrolment is considered final once the €600 deposit is paid by bank transfer within eight days and all necessary documents are submitted online according to the instructions above. Once these elements have been received and validated, the enrolment confirmation takes effect. Start my online application or Re-enrolment can be used to proceed.
Waiting list: If a place cannot be offered at a given admissions committee meeting, your application will be placed on the waiting list and carried forward for review at the next committee meeting.
