Waldorf education enhances and supports the development phases of childhood. The uniqueness of Waldorf lies in how and when subjects are taught. The approach focuses on the development of the whole child—intellectual, physical, emotional, spiritual and moral. The learning path follows a balanced progression with the heart, hand and head guiding growth. Subjects are introduced when the child is developmentally ready to spark curiosity.
SEPAS (Psycho-social and scholastic guidance service) is available to students. SEPAS provides psycho-social support and scholastic guidance. PUPILS SUPPORT is a dedicated contact for pupil welfare, provided by Marie Delebecque. The school lists SEPAS and Pupils Support among its scholastic resources and contacts.
Preschool uses Luxembourgish. Primary uses German mainly, with French and English introduced as foreign languages from first class. In secondary, French is increasingly used as the vehicular language, German decreases, and English remains a foreign language. In the International Baccalaureate, French is the main language, but some courses are taught in German or English.

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.
