Athénée de Luxembourg

What Athénée de Luxembourg does

Athénée de Luxembourg is a public classical secondary school (lycée classique) located at 24, boulevard Pierre Dupong in Luxembourg City, founded in 1603 and operated under the supervision of the Luxembourg Ministry of Education. The school serves approximately 1,513 students aged roughly 12–18 across classes 7e through 1re, taught by 173 teaching staff, making it one of Luxembourg's oldest continuously operating educational institutions. Its educational portfolio combines traditional Luxembourgish classical sections (A through G and R) covering humanities, sciences, economics, arts, music (Section F), sports, and political sciences (Section R) with a 7-year International Baccalaureate Diploma program delivered in English. The school operates a specialized music program (orchestra and 'd'Kolléischs-Musëk' fanfare), a sports class, optional elective courses, evening courses (Cours du soir) for adult learners, and academic support services including tutoring, supervised study, and SOS Points.

The institution follows a government-funded revenue model under Luxembourg's free public education framework, with tuition free for residents and no commercial pricing structure disclosed. Its GTM is event-driven: prospective families engage via Open Days, school visits, and a multilingual website, with selection formalized through admission procedures including the international-classes track. The core technology stack is the WebUntis platform used for scheduling, communication, and student tracking. Beyond academic instruction, the school maintains a distinctive affiliated non-profit, ONG Athénée-Action Humanitaire (established 2006, ONGD-accredited since 2007), which funds development projects in South Africa, Cape Verde, and Greece, and participates in international networks including the UNESCO Associated Schools Network (since 2003) and the European Parliament Ambassador School program (EPAS-Label since 2017). A new Section R focused on political sciences, geopolitics, and sustainable development was launched in 2024, replacing the former Section G.
