I would guess it has less to do with the curriculum as with a higher percentage of educated parents. Luxembourgish curriculum is the norm, while European school is mostly for people working for EU institutions.

“Students attending an EPS showed a more positive mean score development in mathematics, particularly when the language of instruction is closer to the language spoken at home,” the report states.
Students from a lower socio-economic background and those who do not speak Luxembourgish at home have benefited the most. “Student groups that have repeatedly been found to be at a higher risk of struggling academically in Luxembourg’s education system […] showed a more positive development in mathematics when attending an EPS,” the authors wrote.
