Eden School's goals are:
- To ensure high academic standards
- To accompany each child in their individuality and to promote their personal development
- To allow children to think for themselves
- To put the school on the map in an ever-changing world…
In recent years, numerous scientific studies have led to a better understanding of child development and of the learning conditions that are favorable to the student. Many links must now be made between cognitive sciences and school, as proposed by the EDEN school.
Beyond mastering academic content in a specific subject, our objective at Eden School is to bring students to skills of mind as well as intra- and interpersonal skills that are transferable from one subject to another.
To access these skills, the teacher must change his or her position in the classroom. The entire teaching team has been trained for several years in many tools that enable children to be active in their learning.
The complementarity of these skills will be essential for your children in a constantly changing world.
We develop the unique potential of each child through:
- small class sizes
- bilingual French/English education (50/50%)
- learning methods based on neuroscience research (cognitive science and neuro pedagogy)
- awareness that mistakes are wonderful learning opportunities
- a combination of effective classroom practices: independent workshops, the Flipped Classroom, Montessori, the Project Approach…) which allow us to take into consideration the different learning styles of the children
- hands-on approach for both children and teachers
- academic goals tailored to each child’s abilities
- complimentary subjects such as philosophy for children, coding, and mindfulness geared towards developing logical and mathematical thinking skills, structured thought processes and self-regulation of emotions,
- Positive Discipline at the heart of all relationships between members of the school community
- a school-wide project in line with our values
It is on an old agricultural estate ten minutes from Geneva that we can find the campus of Eden School. The estate was an old farmhouse and stables that were completely restored and transformed to reflect the teaching philosophy promoted at Eden School: the setting offers the children a friendly and welcoming environment.
Surrounded by a tree-filled courtyard, the school has real quality at its fingertips: classrooms are stocked with the latest educational technologies, an open teachers’ office that allows continual communication between children and staff, workshop spaces, a library, and a canteen.
The spirit of the teaching is reflected in the design of the workspaces themselves: the rooms are bright, transparent, and adaptable in a way that affords great flexibility in teaching. A reading corner becomes an amphitheater around, group-work table is re-assembled as a private, personal workspace. Eden School uses these progressive learning spaces as if the teaching itself were dictated by the rhythms of the children.
