Compulsory subjects

From the 4th year of secondary education (S4), the European Schools curriculum includes compulsory subjects as well as a number of optional subjects.

In S4 and S5, only Biology, Chemistry and Physics are taught in whole-class groups. For all other courses, students are grouped according to language and/or the options chosen.

In order to offer students the widest possible range of options, from S4 onwards all EIDE classes are located on the Differdange campus.

Students in secondary years 4 and 5 (S4 and S5) must study the following subjects: 

Mathematics is a compulsory subject, but students may choose between the 4-period course and the 6-period course per week.

Optional subjects

In addition to the compulsory subjects, students must choose optional subjects so that the total number of weekly periods is: between a minimum of 31 and a maximum of 35 periods for students who have chosen Mathematics (4 periods), and between a minimum of 33 and a maximum of 35 periods for students who have chosen Mathematics (6 periods).

The optional subjects offered include:

When choosing options, the following points should be taken into account: an optional course can only be opened if it has been chosen by a sufficient number of students (minimum 10 students); an optional course started in S4 can only be continued in S6-S7 if the number of students is sufficient; Latin requires prior study in S3 (and may be taught in a mixed multilingual group); choosing an optional course commits the student for 2 years: no change, withdrawal or addition of options is possible during the S4-S5 cycle.

However, a student may switch from Maths 6 to Maths 4 at the end of the first semester of S4 and at the end of S4 (with the agreement of the class council). The reverse change from Maths 4 to Maths 6 is possible, subject to passing a test covering the parts of the Maths 6 syllabus not covered in Maths 4.

Subject timetables – S6 & S7

Core subjects  include the following compulsory subjects, some of which may be studied at different levels of depth:

• At least two language courses (the dominant language and one other)
• Mathematics, either 3 periods per week or 5 periods per week
• One scientific subject, either  Science, Technology and Society (STS) (2 periods/week), or another scientific subject taught for 4 periods/week: Biology, Chemistry or Physics
• History and Geography, either 2 periods/week or 4 periods/week, taught in a language different from the dominant language, in French, English or German
• Philosophy, either the 2-period course or the 4-period course
• Physical Education
• Life and Society

In addition to the core subjects, students may choose from a wide range of options and complementary subjects in order to complete their curriculum, reaching a minimum of 31 periods per week and a maximum of 35 periods.

The following table shows the structure of the programme and the available choices:

¹ STS is compulsory unless Physics, Chemistry or Biology (4 p.) is chosen.
² All subjects in column 2 must be taken if they are not chosen in column 3.
³ Students choosing ONL may not choose LIV.
⁴ Advanced Mathematics may only be chosen in combination with Maths 5 periods (column 1).
⁵ The range of complementary subjects offered varies from one school to another.
⁶ Laboratory subjects may only be chosen if the corresponding 4-period course has been chosen.
⁷ Music Education (2 p.) is not permitted if it is chosen in column 3.
