history
The foundation of the middle school, from which today's Lycée classique developed, goes back to the initiative of the former mayor Fr. Jul. Vannerus and the commitment of the clergyman Pierre Stehres. School operations began on November 4, 1830 in the rooms of the old Récollets monastery near the church. In 1847 the state had a barracks built in Diekirch to house the Prussian troops. In 1853 a Progymnasium was set up in a new building near the church, which now houses the primary school. After the Luxembourg crisis in 1867, the Prussians vacated the barracks (today's old building) on the basis of the London Treaty , after which it was renovated and the Progymnasium could move into it. The old Récollets monastery was then demolished.
During the Second World War , the school building was held by German troops from 1941 to 1944. In the autumn of 1944, classes were resumed, but were interrupted again by the Ardennes offensive . The building was in dire need of renovation after the war. In 1966 a new building with a sports hall was started on the other bank of the Sauer , which was inaugurated in September 1971. On April 4, 1996, the school was converted into a technical high school by a law and the high school previously located in Mersch was administratively combined with the LCD. On April 23, 1999 the library and the sports hall and on January 19, 2001 the new building in Mersch were officially inaugurated.
In recent years the lyceum has been almost completely renovated. In addition to the technical classes 7e to 9e, the new building mainly houses the students from classes 7e and 6e, in the old one from classes 5e to 1re (in the classic Luxembourg school system, the numbering is sequential). In Mersch, students of classical classes are taught from 7th to 5th, technical classes from 7th to 9th and the régime préparatoire .
A boarding school is part of the school at the Mersch site, which includes a normal boarding school and a day boarding school as well as a sports school for basketball's youngsters in Luxembourg.
As part of the Comenius project of the European Community, there has been a student exchange with schools in various European countries for several years. a. so far with France ( Gradignan , Nancy , Quimper ), Portugal ( Braga ), Germany ( Dresden , Mönchengladbach , Biesdorf ), Belgium ( Neerpelt , Büllingen ), Netherlands ( Valkenswaard ), Italy ( Lodi ), the Czechoslovak Republic ( Sternberk ), Denmark ( Nakskov ) and Romania ( Sibiu ). Some math students were able to take part in a student exchange with Sfax in Tunisia in November 2006 .
Since the mid-1990s, LCD teachers have been organizing the national mathematics Olympiad in Luxembourg and preparing the country's most successful students in training camps for their participation in the International Mathematics Olympiad . The 3rd Benelux Olympiad for Mathematics (BxMO) took place in the LCD from 6 to 8 May 2011 .
Radio AG participants produce radio broadcasts that are broadcast locally at 100.7 MHz at longer intervals or that can be listened to via the Internet.
