Several Luxembourg primary and secondary schools are located in Limpertsberg.

The Lycée Luxembourgeois Michel Lucius and its elementary school will move to the "op der Schleed" site in the Kuebebierg district of Kirchberg in 2028. The Waldorfschoul will also move to Kirchberg.

For the time being, the Lycée Technique du Centre has added new extensions, with a sports hall and a new dining hall designed with eco-responsibility in mind. These facilities will remain operational after the planned move to the new "Midfield" district in Howald, near the Lycée Vauban.

In order to reduce traffic in the district, more than 5,000 schoolchildren and students must leave the district by 2025. The aim is to make Limpertsberg a car-free district.

The land freed up by the various schools would be reused for the construction of new housing. This could meet, at least in part, the high demand for real estate in Luxembourg.
