| Native English speaking teachers |
LML has many native speakers alongside teachers who despite not being native speakers have the command of a native speaker. Many of LML's teachers have trained and previously worked in schools offering an English international programme. Alternatively, they may be completed their university studies in an English-speaking country. LML values having some teachers who are not necessarily English native speakers but who have mastered the language to native-speaker level. LML doesn’t just have native English speaking children so having some staff who have gone through similar experiences is an enrichment. |

English as an additional language |
| Additional language classes offered by the school |
From Year 1 in primary all children learn Luxembourgish for one hour a week as a language of communication and integration. From Year 3 until the end of primary they choose either French or German and then add the other language in secondary. Later on they can start to drop some languages – in GCSEs the minimum requirement is to do one, either French or German. At A Level, languages are entirely optional. |

| Do teachers assign homework to their students? |
Yes |
| Approximate hours of homework given |
In primary, LML has a no homework policy. In secondary, there’s homework as students progress through the years. In the A-level programme, students have to work independently. They do not follow a traditional timetable in the sense that all of their time at school is filled with taught lessons, as they have a range of independent study periods. Working independently is an important skill that takes time to develop. A lot of the research work and the coursework which is sent away to the examining bodies are done electronically. |

For secondary, there are school buses, coming to Limpertsberg from a range of communes across the country, including from the south of Luxembourg. Transportation is free. For primary, LML has a bus shuttle starting from Kirchberg and from Mamer. |
