Discover your future school: open house
Thinking about the upcoming school year and our children's educational future causes us stress in advance. And like all parents, we would like to put off making a decision for as long as possible. But here too, the more we prepare in advance, the less stressed we will be when the time comes to choose our child's future high school.
Open houses to discover their future school or high school
What better way to get to know a high school and understand what it has to offer than by attending its open house? This allowsprospective students to get a better idea of what the school is like and reassures parents.
Open house events begin at the start of the year in Luxembourg. Luxembourg high schools have already published their open house dates.
Prospective students and parents can now plan their visits. Here are some dates and websites for the high schools that are most popular with the expatriate community.
Why attend high school open houses?
There are many different educational options in Luxembourg, and it can sometimes be difficult to know which one to choose. During their open days, high schools open their doors and their facilities to prospective students and their parents. Visitors can then walk around the premises and meet students and teaching staff.
Each high school presents its curriculum and the daily life of its students. We recommend attending several open houses to discover the different atmospheres and specificities of each school. Let yourself be guided by the students, who will be delighted to show you around their school. The transition from elementary school is quite significant.
In addition, these visits help young people to plan ahead and choose a place where they feel comfortable. Your child will be able to make friends, ask all their questions, and feel reassured when the new school year begins.
Discover the school environment
You can get a first impression by visiting the premises and discovering not only the facilities available but also the general atmosphere of the school. This will allow you to assess whether the school is suitable in terms of comfort and safety for your child.
You will also learn about the specific features of the options, foreign languages, and extracurricular activities offered, as well as how school life is organized.
Meet the teaching staff
You will also be able to interact with teachers, ask questions about teaching methods, subjects taught, and academic expectations. Generally, the management teams take this opportunity to explain the school's vision and values.
In addition, clubs and sports, arts, and cultural associations are often presented during Open House events.
Schools take advantage of this opportunity to highlight innovative or specific projects (international exchanges, nature trips, etc.).
In short, Open House events are a valuable opportunity to make an informed choice, taking into account the academic, practical, and human aspects of the institution.
