The European School of Luxembourg II, commonly known as ESL is a European school in the communes of Bertrange and Mamer in Luxembourg.
The current Director of the European School Luxembourg II is Per Frithiofson (Sweden), who replaced Émmanuel de Tournemire (France), Director during the period 2010-2016.
Even after the separation in 2012, both schools are still considered by many students and local residents as one. Mamer and Kirchberg are working hardly to preserve the connection and unity of both schools, mostly for the Secondary students.
ESL is nowadays divided into two autonomous organisms: ESL2 & ESL1 (which is located in the capital Luxembourg-City, in the quarter of Kirchberg which is about 11 km away from LUX2).
Despite the separation with ESL1, both entities still share a narrow cooperation in important subjects such as official trips (essentially travels for both schools ambassadors to Brussels), events or even the Pupils' committees budgets.
It was created after the European School of Luxembourg I became overcrowded. It was formally opened in 2004. Between 2004 and 2012 the Luxembourg II school consisted only of nursery and primary cycles. The secondary cycle was activated only at the Luxembourg I school. The nursery classes were hosted in the same building of the nursery classes of the Luxembourg I school in Luxembourg-Kirchberg, while the primary cycle was located in temporary prefabricated buildings (so called "Village Pédagogique"), also in Luxembourg-Kirchberg.
