It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
The Luxembourg Waldorf School was founded in 1984 on the initiative of a group of parents who were also teachers. The Veräin fir Waldorfpädagogik Lëtzebuerg association was founded in 1982 to promote Waldorf education in Luxembourg and includes the Waldorf school, Maison relais Waldorf, and a Waldorf nursery on a biodynamic farm. Its objectives include ensuring continuity and development of the Waldorf school and providing sponsorship to enable all children to study at the school, as well as promoting adult education through lectures, seminars and workshops for teachers, parents and interested persons. The association provides the school's organisation, administration and legal representation and is governed by a General Management Panel elected from its panels.
The school offers Early Learning, Spillschoul, Preschool, Primary, Secondary and International Baccalaureate programmes, with an After-school Centre (Maison relais) to support families. Parents participate actively through the Parents' Panel and class parent representatives, with working groups such as the Bazaar Circle and Spillgrupp. Celebrations and events are integral to community life, including Seasonal and Quarterly celebrations, the Bazaar, Open House events (including Open House at the Spillschoul) and a Summer Celebration. Daily life is supported by an online school calendar and the Blietchen school newsletter; the Maison relais and canteen provide meals and carpooling is common.
The association Veräin fir Waldorfpädagogik Lëtzebuerg was founded in 1982 to promote Waldorf education in Luxembourg. It includes the Fräi-ëffentlech Waldorfschoul Lëtzebuerg, La Maison relais Waldorf, and a Waldorf nursery on the Kass-Haff biodynamic farm. Its objectives include ensuring continuity and lasting development of the Waldorf school, providing sponsorship to enable all children to study at the school, and promoting adult education through lectures, seminars and workshops. The association provides the school's organisation, administration and legal representation and is managed by a General Management Panel elected from its panels. The Parents' Panel (Elternkonferenz) is composed of representatives from each class, provides a venue for information exchange, aims to encourage communication between all parents and to promote integration of new parents, and coordinates projects through working groups; the Parents' Panel also elects a GLK delegate to participate in school governance. Bazaar Circle, Spillgrupp and other parent-led groups contribute to school life, and the PP coordinates activities and working groups.
Luxembourg Waldorf School (Fräi-ëffentlech Waldorfschoul Lëtzebuerg) welcomes children from age 3 to 18 and follows a Waldorf Steiner curriculum alongside the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Early learning is optional; Spillschoul lasts two to three years. From first through sixth grade, a form teacher guides the class for six years, after which a regent supports pupils through 11th class. The secondary years run from 7th to 11th and culminate in an IB preparatory year before the Diploma Programme, conducted primarily in French with subjects in German or English. The school's language policy blends Luxembourgish in preschool, German as the primary language of instruction in primary, and French as vehicular in secondary, with English used for select IB courses, notably Visual Arts and Theatre taught in English. The campus includes a Limpertsberg site with buildings, a biodynamic farm at Rollingen/Mersch, and on-site after-care. The Veräin fir Waldorfpädagogik Lëtzebuerg supports administration and development.
