Assessment: Hello all, and thank you for contributing to this school article. I'm part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools/Assessment team, and I'm reviewing this page. I'm currently giving it a grade of Start on the Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale and an importance of Mid on this importance scale. For information on improving this article, please visit the WikiProject Schools Project Page. My reasoning is as follows: Large system of schools but need to be more referenced and should be reorganized. Adam McCormick 07:50, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Schools

Does anyone know if the opening of new schools is being considered and where? This could be information for a new section. 70.156.143.136 00:34, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Good God I hope not. Even a handful of schools committed to bringing up children without a national culture is too many. Ravenhurst 00:55, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

There are plans for Luxembourg II, but a site has not been settled on as far as I know. Ravenhurst, students at the European school (like myself) are educated on the culture of Europe as a whole. There is nothing to stop them acquiring a "national culture" of their own accord, and their parents will often bring them up with one.Matthew CB Allen

[edit] Private school?

I realise the European school falls into a rather unique category, but I was under the impression that it was classed as a state school because of the system of entitlement. Can somebody confirm this? At my school in Luxembourg I though it was this status that allowed school infrastructure (buildings, equipment etc.) to be funded by the Luxembourg government. Matthew CB Allen

Matthew, you are fully right. Also, the funding of the school for most of its students comes from public institutions and many teachers are paid by national Ministries of Education. A fee is required for some students, but I think that the correct description is "public school with limited access". I'll change that on the main article. escorial82
