- The Ecole d’Humanité is a progressive, international boarding school in the heart of the Swiss Alps that fosters the discovery and development of individual talents in an atmosphere that encourages self-determination, innovation, and tolerance. For over a century these words have expressed the essential challenge that our school invites its students to take on. And because each student is different, this challenge assumes a new form for every one of them. A belief in the utter uniqueness of each student forms the core of Ecole’s philosophy of education. We trust in and respect our students in all their diversity, and we listen to and value their voices. We foster a culture of individuation and negotiation, a dynamic middle way between conformity and rebellion. Ecole students co-construct their school experience, reflect on their successes and struggles, and find their particular niches in a cohesive and lively community. Here they can grow and express their uniqueness, knowing all the while that they are a necessary and valued part of the whole. In such an environment they develop confidence in their strengths and aptitudes, a realistic appraisal of their weaknesses and stumbling blocks, and an intrinsic sense of responsibility and compassion. When the creative risk is encouraged, education becomes an adventure. The Ecole is a diverse learning community composed of students from a wide range of cultural, national, and economic backgrounds. We look for students who think and act genuinely and independently, who wish to discover and develop their unique gifts – whatever these may be – to the full. If you wish to join us in the adventure of discovering who you are in the context of a lively, creative, and sometimes demanding community life, we encourage you to apply. "When the creative risk is possible, education becomes an adventure." Academic life at our school is not a spectator sport! Choice and passion, negotiation, and what-ifs: at Ecole, students actively shape their learning. Even before classes start, Ecole students determine when and how they will study what, constructing an academic program that they will own, not just participate in. Once classes start, students work together in small groups, develop original problem-solving skills, and dare to ask difficult questions. They receive individualized, carefully differentiated feedback instead of grades, and actively and regularly reflect on and evaluate their work. Our graduates become diverse learners and leaders who possess the intellectual, social, and ethical habits to positively impact their communities. "The quality and quantity of social interaction in the Ecole community, along with wonderful physics and math classes with five or six students, made a lasting impression on me, and contributed in a major way to my decision to become a doctor."
- The vision of the school is closely attuned to the benefits of the current ‘smart society, which is driven by increasingly diverse and rapid intercommunication. For young people today, this facilitates access to the knowledge which will be vital for their access to adult life. In a society that boasts numerous offers in the educational sphere, the Moser school can be evaluated principally on its long-established reputation for sound methodology, coupled with a flair for innovation, which enhances its tradition of first-class teaching and is invaluable in nurturing a positive, well-balanced attitude to life. Long recognized for its pioneering approach, the school has consistently developed worthwhile methods based on up-to-date ideas. The strategy is to carefully balance two elements: the tried and tested foundations of pedagogical excellence, together with an open-minded attitude to progressive and inventive diversification, – all in an atmosphere of lively co-operation. Heading the field as a vibrant and open-minded establishment, the school is committed to constant re-assessment and progress, to ‘explore its potential for the benefit of its students. In a world where information is omnipresent, Moser lends an expert ear and offers sound counsel and authenticated methods. A model of organization and continual evolution, Moser exemplifies all that is reassuring and responsible when faced with the complex challenges of our modern world. To respect its commitments. To invest in all possible pathways that facilitate success. To train those who will train the students. To constantly enhance the quality of its teaching. To keep its promises. To show proof of determination. To promote a sentiment of belonging. To be a ‘true school’. To be a reference for values in society. To develop social skills. To contribute to the world of education. To awaken the conscience and a sense of citizenship. To maintain programs designed to meet specific standards. To offer the latest know-how in the domain of technology. To constantly adapt to the developing framework of educational norms. To guarantee the execution of the pedagogical project. To be aware and attentive to the demands of that project. To keep a close eye on the students’ progress, both academically and socially. To invest in the tools that allow young people to succeed, each according to their specific circumstances. The formation offered by the Moser Schools is based on coursework that is designed to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge in the most favorable conditions possible. Far from adhering simply to the regular classroom situation, teaching methods are versatile and presented in a variety of locations whilst using diverse techniques. This wide spectrum of learning options is aimed at promoting optimum opportunities to students throughout their whole school career. In the Moser schools, workspaces are adaptable. As well as in traditional classrooms, students can work in a variety of areas, suited to accommodate groups of varying sizes and adjustable to a multitude of different projects. In complement to these physical domains, Moser offers virtual workspaces, notably for distance learning. For this purpose the school proposes modular work posts, suited to meet the varying needs of the students, depending on the time slot required. These spaces are comfortable, modern, and luminous and can be transformed to comply with the task at hand. View full school

- Curriculum: IBCP, IB MYP, IB DP, USDP Haut-Lac International Bilingual School opened its doors in Vevey in 1993 when the benefits of international education were less known than they are today. With only 13 students, the founding directors took on the challenge of educating the community on the advantages of bilingual education, whilst also playing teacher, lunch supervisor, and bus driver. Today, we welcome approximately 600 boys and girls aged 3 to 18 from over 47 countries, and our Les Marronniers Nursery takes care of infants aged 18 months to 3 years. Despite this impressive growth, we remain at the heart and in daily practice a family school. The four founders are still at the helm of a team that is deeply committed to international education and personal excellence. When your children are on campus, they are our children, too. At Haut-Lac International Bilingual School, we believe that a holistic approach to education is the only way forward. Whilst we understand and appreciate the importance of achieving academically, and are proud of our unique Primary curriculum and four Secondary curricula, we also know that a well-rounded education requires teaching sport, art, transferable skills, and cultural awareness. Our approach encourages your child to be creative, to develop their problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, to become a leader and team player, and to communicate ideas in more than one language. As a bilingual school, we believe that true bilingual education is not limited to offering academic instruction in two languages. We offer true bilingual immersion in the study, play, and daily activities so that, no matter what your child’s language level is today, they will leave our school equipped to live in English and French. We also run a predominantly English program for students who come to us with neither English nor French nor whose families are on short-term contracts to Switzerland and plan on returning to study in their respective countries. These students will study all their subjects in English and have one French lesson a day to help them make the most of learning in a bilingual school. We adapt our teaching approach to the developmental stages of the children and adolescents in our care. Not every method is appropriate for every child, so our teachers focus on identifying and using approaches that will work for each student. View full school

Overlooking the Landiwiese and Lake Zurich, we are currently teaching around 220 students in 14 grade-based classes from kindergarten to grade 6. Our school is influenced by the various Swiss families, as well as international ones, who have made their home or place of work in the Lake Zürich area. Everyday school life is enriched by this diversity on all levels however, we also place great value on establishing ties with the local community.

The SIS Swiss International School Zürich-Wollishofen offers bilingual education from kindergarten to grade 6 of primary school. On all levels, classes are held both in German and English. However, bilingualism is no prerequisite for admission. "The sooner, the better." When it comes to learning a language, this statement is irrefutable.

As a result, kindergarten will prove to be a varied and exciting time for both children and parents. Our bilingual Kindergarten offers a well-supervised, safe, and stimulating learning environment for children aged four to six. SIS has developed its curriculum for children in this age group, comprising six areas of learning and discovery.

For sports and swimming lessons, we are allowed to use the buildings of the nearby public schools and swimming pool. Transport is provided by our school bus. Our day school structure wouldn’t be complete without our cafeteria, which also serves as a venue for school events. An adventure playground invites children to climb, play balancing games or use the slide. Students also enjoy themselves playing table tennis or soccer. Individual classes sometimes spend their lunch breaks at the Belvoirpark or on the beautiful Landiwiese, always accompanied by supervisors. View full school

- Nestled in a verdant oasis on a hillside in Cologny, Switzerland, the International Institute of Notre Dame du Lac has always strived to achieve academic excellence and the values of the French education system. But above all else, we promote the joy of learning. By respecting each individual's pace of learning, we encourage children to develop and allow them to get the most out of their first few years at school. Our school welcomes children aged between 3 and 11 years in mixed-gender pre-school and primary classes and promotes personalized mentoring within an exceptional environment. Over the last 70 years, large numbers of both Genevans and international youngsters have achieved success at our school. Between classical academism and the dissemination of knowledge using state-of-the-art equipment, we place a great deal of emphasis on the basics: learning to read, express oneself, write and count. With effect from the start of the 2017 academic year, the number of hours of English-language teaching will be doubled at all levels, drawing upon the concept of co-education. At Notre-Dame du Lac, we are convinced that learning a language at a young age, particularly through the teaching of a subject, provides an excellent springboard for success in later education and openness to the world. The educational approach at Notre Dame du Lac aims for personal fulfillment in one’s studies. Class sizes range from 15 to 20 students, allowing for an important place for accompaniment and follow-up of every student. The child, at the heart of his education, stays the principal guiding light in our pedagogy. Notre Dame du Lac Institute strives to be a fertile ground for many successful elementary academic experiences. The teachers are concerned with offering a framework and an organization of activities that favor autonomy to every student while at the same time, giving them the time to develop their first social interactions. The child entering the preschool will progressively become a student. From the age of 4 years, the most particular attention will be given to the handling of the pencil, to cursive handwriting, to the discovery of numeration, and to the control of spoken expression, which constitutes the fundamental base for a perfect mastery of the French language. A daily appropriation of the written language starts as well. This progressive skill building at the child’s rhythm continues to the age of 5 to ensure the foundation of a perfect acquisition of reading and writing at the cusp of elementary school. Elementary school accompanies their students in the mastery of the French language both written and spoken, towards autonomy in mathematical reasoning and practice of foreign languages. These foundations are an essential springboard for successful and fulfilling scholarly. From the age of 6, students structure their understanding through reading workshops as well as fun and challenging mathematical dispositions. The teachers offer methods that give real-life meaning to their learning. Evaluations are given at regular intervals to guide students’ scholarly highlighting their progression and lead to correct and individual follow-up. Information Science studies and complementary subjects are undebatable advantages in an opening towards a higher level of general knowledge. Each class nourishes, in a pleasurable manner, the year with cultural projects in phase with the program. Students gain competencies in autonomy and initiative in respect to humanistic culture on the path towards excellence hand in hand with our teachers. View full school

- KIBS strives to offer the best possible international and national education. The education philosophy of KIBS considers every child as a unique individual and focuses on the whole child for education instruction. KIBS prides itself to be able to offer families in the Zürich area an international and national education that places the child at the center of learning. The children are engaged in meaningful experiences that challenge and promote academic excellence. To offer a curriculum that meets the needs of its pupils, KIBS has developed its own tailored program which incorporates learning skills and objectives from international curriculums as well as the learning objectives of Canton Zürich. All subjects are taught through a cross-curricular medium, which creates a meaningful base on which to build a strong learning platform. The curriculum promotes critical thinking and independent problem-solving skills. KIBS encourages its pupils to develop a degree of independence and to take responsibility for themselves. Our mission here at KIBS is to offer high-quality and innovative international and national education that places the child at the center of learning and motivates it to reach her/his full potential in a respectful and accepting environment. By presenting all learning through interactive teachings, the children at KIBS are not only taught in a supportive, class atmosphere and smaller groups, but also on an individual level which ensures that each student is receiving the best possible education. The children are constantly engaged in meaningful experiences that challenge and promote academic excellence. The early developmental years are fundamental to the future success of a child in school years and even later in life in the professional arena. Young children are particularly curious, inquisitive, and willing to learn. It is important to meet a child’s natural readiness to learn at this stage without overwhelming them. True learning produces joy and happiness. Through multi-sensory lessons and activities, we encourage the children to explore the world using all their senses. We encourage them to think independently and empathize with others to learn conflict resolution strategies as well as tolerance and respect.

- This is our principle, and this is what LIPSCHULE Zurich, with its pedagogical concept, stands for. Our principle is based on the scientific finding and conclusion that the children’s ways of learning are truly individual. The fact that learning is a personal construction of the human mind has also been recognized in neurobiology. It is, therefore, the responsibility of parents and teachers to provide the children with a learning environment that allows the pupil’s natural potential to be individually fostered and freely developed. A learning culture of the fostering kind lays the foundation for independent and sustainable learning. This conviction, based on the humanistic idea of man combined with the elements of the constructivist education philosophy, is the concept LIPSCHULE follows on all educational levels. A personal and compassionate learning atmosphere as well as committed and benevolent teaching staff is the key to achievements made by motivated and self-responsible students. On top of that, it is the various forms of teaching structures, the open learning methods, the personal attention, and compassionate mentored learning, and our spacious, bright rooms that fuel the pupils’ motivation. LIPSCHULE avoids putting pressure on students by giving them marks. Instead, we focus on competency-oriented assessments. That’s how we manage to systematically foster individual talents and gifts. Our expanded forms of learning turn our pupils into proactive learners who feel responsible for their achievements. Our teaching staff takes on the role of companions and mentors. Our pupils let go of dependency in favor of self-determination by drawing up their weekly learning plans, establishing individual work contracts, defining personal learning objectives, and planning independently. The pupils’ feeling responsible for their achievements leads to sustainable and integrative understanding. Our primary and secondary school learners gain strength through independently searching for, evaluating, and cross-linking project-relevant information and, at last, presenting their project results. Their success arises from our focus on subject matter competencies and general competencies, teamwork, self-assessment, and peer review. Making daily use of modern media is an important part of our learning program. Clear guidelines facilitate our working and existing together in our everyday school life. Children and adolescents need explicit boundaries to grow. Our teaching staff work with our students in a compassionate and caring way, which encourages positive energies. Fostering a sense of community is a very important part of LIPSCHULE’s pedagogical concept. At our school, learning is not pouring knowledge into passive students. Instead, the students are urged to be actively involved in their process of learning. Our teaching staff is facilitators who help our pupils construct their knowledge. View full school

- The Institut International de Lancy is a modern school in an ever-changing world. We are a multicultural, diverse community where children can flourish and develop a love of learning, inspired by motivational teachers. Known for encouraging academic excellence, we strive to make students independent, autonomous learners through the use of 21st-century approaches to teaching and learning. We are united around the core values of mutual care and respect, shared with our founders, the Sisters of St Joseph of Lyon. Proud of our heritage, we are open to new ideas and innovation. In a forward-thinking school, we nurture communication, creativity, and critical thinking. We guide all learners through their schooling, encouraging compassion, multilingualism, and an acceptance of differences. We are committed to developing each individual to be the best person that they can be. This philosophy will be a prime focus and we will be doing all we can to make sure it grows and spreads through the whole school community. An international school with roots embedded in its Catholic origins, IIL upholds a liberal and cosmopolitan outlook, maintaining the fundamental values of respect and tolerance at its core. Within a uniformly French and English environment, IIL is dedicated to forming young people to be multi-lingual, articulate, independent thinkers with a strong sense of self-worth and integrity, and with an awareness of others and the world around them. Pupils are encouraged to develop a sensitivity to social and humanitarian commitment for which the school itself is an advocate and an example. True to the spirit which led its founders to open the school in 1903 under the name of Pensionnat Marie-Thérèse, our Catholic school offers an environment conducive to learning through initiatives, research, and the implementation of innovative ideas and resources where the individual is of prime importance and fosters a caring, receptive and supportive approach. Comprehensive curricula ensure students acquire a well-rounded education, from basic skills to the knowledge required to pass respected national and international diplomas. In complement to academic aims, teaching methods at IIL are designed to encourage students to develop their individuality and intellectual capacities so that they may face the world with confidence. Students and staff from across the world, from a multitude of cultural, linguistic, and religious backgrounds, unite at the Institut International de Lancy to work and succeed together. Although not involved in the management of IIL, the APEIIL works closely with the school. It successfully fulfills its mission to bring parents together and facilitate communication and organizes events for both IIL children and their parents throughout the year. The APEIIL helps to create links and to facilitate the integration of families within the school community. Children and parents of over 80 different nationalities are encouraged to share their experiences and traditions. Parents are given several opportunities to meet, such as at the welcome get-together at the beginning of the term or the traditional New Year coffee morning. The APEIIL offers activities throughout the year to Primary and Secondary children and therefore complements the academic mission of the school. Various afternoon and evening parties are organized during term time to suit different age groups, both in the English and French sections: Spooky Party, Santa's visit, Leavers’ Ball, etc. Each year, children, parents, and staff are invited to meet at the Christmas market and the school fête (Kermesse), two highlights of the school year. In Nursery and Primary classes, the APEIIL oversees a network of class representatives who facilitate communication between parents. As a bilingual English-French school, we publish two newsletters regularly, one in French and one in English, keeping parents informed about school life and APEIIL activities. The Association can operate thanks to financial contributions from its members. The yearly subscription fee finances their activities and is filtered back into school in the form of resources and equipment such as books for the classroom, outdoor games, and benches at the school gate. Proceeds from certain events are donated to Catholic schools elsewhere in the world run by the Congregation of Sisters of Saint Joseph. View full school
