The International School of Luxembourg (ISL) is a privately owned non-profit international school located in Hollerich, Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg.

History

The school was founded in 1963 under the name, DuPont de Nemours Private School.[2] As part of a deal with the Luxembourg government to open Europe's first polyester film plant in the country the American conglomerate DuPont requested that its employees have access to an American-style education for their children.[2] Classes were first located in the dining room of a private home in Strassen, before moving, in early 1963, to a single classroom at a primary school in Cessange.[2] Soon after, the Luxembourg government offered to the school classrooms at Servais House at the junction of Avenue Maria-Teresa and Boulevard Joseph II, where the school remained for six years.

Seeing the school as a draw for other international firms, the Luxembourg government continued to support its development.[2] In 1969, it gave the school access to a new building on rue Aloyse Kayser, in Belair. The same year it was taken over by international firm Goodyear and renamed the English Speaking School of Luxembourg.[2]

In 1972, with student numbers growing, the school moved to the premises of the Lycée Michel Rodange in Hollerich, where it took the name the American School of Luxembourg and became a not-for-profit organisation.[2] From 1977 to 1999 the school was located at 188 Avenue de la Faiencerie in Limpertsberg, where it adopted the name, the American International School of Luxembourg.[2]

In 1999, the school settled into its current purpose built location in Hollerich on the Campus Geesseknäppchen, which hosts several other Luxembourg-based educational establishments.[2] That same year the school adopted its present name, the International School of Luxembourg.[2]

Structure and student body

The school is divided into a lower school and upper school.[3]

The lower school consists of an Early Years Programme serving children aged 3-7, which includes the Preschool, Kindergarten and Grade 1, whilst the rest of the lower school programme serves ages 7-11 in Grades 2-5.[3]

The upper school consists of a middle school of Grades 6-8, serving ages 11-14, and a high school comprising Grades 9-12 serving ages 14-18.[3]

{{As of|2018}}, ISL's student body consists of approximately 1,300 students representing close to 50 nationalities. On average, students remain enrolled in the school for between 3 to 5 years.[3]

Sports and extracurricular activities

ISL is a member of the Northwest European Council of International Schools (NECIS) Sports Council, which coordinates varsity athletics competitions amongst its members.[4] ISL fields teams in football, basketball, track and field, swimming, volleyball and rugby.{{citation needed|date=December 2018}} The team goes by the name of the Eagles.[5]

The International School of Luxembourg participates in and manages the Global Issues Network.[6]
