- Founded in 1924, as the first-ever international school, Ecolint has been proudly educating for a better world ever since. Choosing a school – especially in the Geneva area - can be quite bewildering, with many establishments seeming to offer similar academic programs, excellent extra-curricular opportunities, and modern facilities. There are many ways to join us on our mission. You could apply to be a student or a member of staff you might be a visiting artist, musician, or guest speaker you could volunteer to work with students in your area of specialism or consider donating to help our Foundation…the possibilities are endless. We are all interconnected and interdependent and that, of course, includes you. Yes, we have a rich history as the world’s first international school and birthplace of the International Baccalaureate. We are happy to boast state-of-the-art teaching facilities and three impressive campuses across Geneva and Vaud. We delight in our inclusive entry policy, which means students of all abilities are welcomed here, and our examination results that demonstrate the quality of our teaching. And we are proud to count many distinguished figures working in every sphere among our global alumni community. But most of all we are hungry to do more. To reflect on where we can improve. To strive always to do better than our previous best. To learn from others. To innovate and develop our provision so that today’s students – and tomorrow’s – will be able to leave the world better than they found it. We believe that what sets us apart – and why visitors from the Council for International Schools recently called Ecolint “an outstanding school” - are the following key reasons: Founded by civil servants from the ILO and the League of Nations (the precursor to the UN) as the world’s first-ever international school, we remain the most diverse school in the world. With 140 nationalities and 80 mother tongues, no school on earth exposes students to such extraordinary international diversity. We exist to educate for peace and to inculcate strong humanitarian values of inclusiveness, respect, and inter-cultural understanding in everything we do. Resolutely not-for-profit, mankind is the only beneficiary of our work, not corporate shareholders or private equity firms. Having espoused the concept of child-centered education since our foundation in 1924, we have been innovating pedagogically ever since. The birthplace of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, we are extremely proud of our rigorous academic approach and the results we achieve in all our programs, especially in light of our inclusive admissions policy that means we never refuse a child entry on grounds of academic ability. Our aim at the International School of Geneva is to provide a distinctive high-quality international education through which all our students are helped to develop their abilities to the highest level of their potential. We respect students’ individual and cultural identities, encouraging them to become independent learners eager to carry on learning throughout their lives. We prepare students for membership of communities that are socially and culturally diverse, for citizenship, and for engagement with the political, ethical, and environmental challenges of their times. We expect them to want to take an active part in making their world a better place and one that is based on the mutual understanding, respect, and shared values to which the school has been committed throughout its long history. The International School of Geneva serves both the international and local communities of the Geneva area. We are committed to preparing students to live in a multilingual and multicultural world and, as a bilingual Foundation, to develop their fluency in both English and French. The school exists for the sake of its students and is committed to a continual re-evaluation of their needs in the light of social, economic, and cultural change. The school strives continually to promote excellence in all aspects of its provision, to do better than its previous best, and to model the values that it encourages in its students. The main principles of an international education A key element of this unity is a commitment to a particular kind of international education. The Foundation has defined those main principles as follows: Encouraging important international values Supporting the student’s language development Ensuring an international dimension to the curriculum Recognizing the importance of global issues Showing respect for, and integration with, the host country.

- The British School of Geneva (BSG) was created in response to an ever-growing need in Geneva for private, anglophone education and specific demand for the English National program. BSG is the only school in the area to offer the cohesive English National Curriculum from Reception to A-Levels. Accordingly, we are an obvious choice for students transitioning from or returning to, a British-based curriculum. BSG is the only international school in the region to offer British A-Levels (Years 12 and 13), open to students of all nationalities and educational backgrounds who wish to specialize in certain subjects. This program allows greater flexibility to students who have specific areas of strength - we build on and further develop these strengths, thus enhancing their prospects for entrance to universities around the world. BSG is an international school, and we are delighted to have students from over 50 nationalities enrich our lessons, our hallways, and our playground with their various cultures and perspectives. Our teachers and pupils also benefit significantly from contributions from our parent community to classroom and extra-curricular events. We limit our class groups to a maximum of 18 students (maximum 14 in A-Level classes, though the 2016/17 average was under 6 per group) so that our teachers can tailor lessons to suit individual learning needs. Our size also allows teachers, directors, and administrators to know each student and their family and maintain regular, highly personalized, and proactive communication between school and home. Despite our small classes, we keep fees at an affordable level. We wish to make private education as financially accessible as possible for families in the region, and we are proud of the value we provide. Our school will always be small, always provide high-quality tuition in English, and always remain reasonably priced compared with other international schools. These are our commitments to families who place their trust and their children in our hands. Our goal is not to imitate or compete with large international schools in the Geneva region. Indeed, we aim to be different and in doing so to offer more choice to parents and their children. The British School of Geneva operates in a modern, purpose-built site that provides an outstanding learning environment. Classrooms are spacious (especially with a maximum of 18 students per class), and all areas of the 3-story school are graced with plentiful natural light. For a small school, facilities are exceptional. Fully equipped science labs, 3 ICT suites, and a theatre and music room mean that all specialist subject needs are catered for. A library, nurse's station, and dining hall ensure that BSG students benefit from abundant school amenities while enjoying a more intimate instructional setting. Students have the option of subscribing to our hot lunch program. Our caterer holds the Fourchette Verte quality label and can accommodate a range of dietary restrictions. The school is situated on the main road through Châtelaine, 2 minutes from the motorway and just a 10-minute drive from the United Nations at the heart of the international quarter of Geneva. The building has one main, supervised entrance for all students, staff, and visitors. Students can be safely dropped off by car using the driveway loop in front of the main door. The entrance to the building is entirely secure and is permanently supervised by staff. The large recreational area is also completely enclosed, thus offering maximum protection for students. The school is well served by public transport. Four bus routes stop right outside the building. A transport service covering the right bank of Geneva and neighboring France is also available.

- Founded in 1924, as the first-ever international school, Ecolint has been proudly educating for a better world ever since. Choosing a school – especially in the Geneva area - can be quite bewildering, with many establishments seeming to offer similar academic programs, excellent extra-curricular opportunities, and modern facilities. There are many ways to join us on our mission. You could apply to be a student or a member of staff you might be a visiting artist, musician, or guest speaker you could volunteer to work with students in your area of specialism or consider donating to help our Foundation…the possibilities are endless. We are all interconnected and interdependent and that, of course, includes you. Yes, we have a rich history as the world’s first international school and birthplace of the International Baccalaureate. We are happy to boast state-of-the-art teaching facilities and three impressive campuses across Geneva and Vaud. We delight in our inclusive entry policy, which means students of all abilities are welcomed here, and our examination results that demonstrate the quality of our teaching. And we are proud to count many distinguished figures working in every sphere among our global alumni community. But most of all we are hungry to do more. To reflect on where we can improve. To strive always to do better than our previous best. To learn from others. To innovate and develop our provision so that today’s students – and tomorrow’s – will be able to leave the world better than they found it. We believe that what sets us apart – and why visitors from the Council for International Schools recently called Ecolint “an outstanding school” - are the following key reasons: Founded by civil servants from the ILO and the League of Nations (the precursor to the UN) as the world’s first-ever international school, we remain the most diverse school in the world. With 140 nationalities and 80 mother tongues, no school on earth exposes students to such extraordinary international diversity. We exist to educate for peace and to inculcate strong humanitarian values of inclusiveness, respect, and inter-cultural understanding in everything we do. Resolutely not-for-profit, mankind is the only beneficiary of our work, not corporate shareholders or private equity firms. Having espoused the concept of child-centered education since our foundation in 1924, we have been innovating pedagogically ever since. The birthplace of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, we are extremely proud of our rigorous academic approach and the results we achieve in all our programs, especially in light of our inclusive admissions policy that means we never refuse a child entry on grounds of academic ability. Our aim at the International School of Geneva is to provide a distinctive high-quality international education through which all our students are helped to develop their abilities to the highest level of their potential. We respect students’ individual and cultural identities, encouraging them to become independent learners eager to carry on learning throughout their lives. We prepare students for membership of communities that are socially and culturally diverse, for citizenship, and for engagement with the political, ethical, and environmental challenges of their times. We expect them to want to take an active part in making their world a better place and one that is based on the mutual understanding, respect, and shared values to which the school has been committed throughout its long history. The International School of Geneva serves both the international and local communities of the Geneva area. We are committed to preparing students to live in a multilingual and multicultural world and, as a bilingual Foundation, to develop their fluency in both English and French. The school exists for the sake of its students and is committed to a continual re-evaluation of their needs in the light of social, economic, and cultural change. The school strives continually to promote excellence in all aspects of its provision, to do better than its previous best, and to model the values that it encourages in its students. The main principles of an international education A key element of this unity is a commitment to a particular kind of international education. The Foundation has defined those main principles as follows: Encouraging important international values Supporting the student’s language development Ensuring an international dimension to the curriculum Recognizing the importance of global issues Showing respect for, and integration with, the host country.

- The British School of Geneva (BSG) was created in response to an ever-growing need in Geneva for private, anglophone education and specific demand for the English National program. BSG is the only school in the area to offer the cohesive English National Curriculum from Reception to A-Levels. Accordingly, we are an obvious choice for students transitioning from or returning to, a British-based curriculum. BSG is the only international school in the region to offer British A-Levels (Years 12 and 13), open to students of all nationalities and educational backgrounds who wish to specialize in certain subjects. This program allows greater flexibility to students who have specific areas of strength - we build on and further develop these strengths, thus enhancing their prospects for entrance to universities around the world. BSG is an international school, and we are delighted to have students from over 50 nationalities enrich our lessons, our hallways, and our playground with their various cultures and perspectives. Our teachers and pupils also benefit significantly from contributions from our parent community to classroom and extra-curricular events. We limit our class groups to a maximum of 18 students (maximum 14 in A-Level classes, though the 2016/17 average was under 6 per group) so that our teachers can tailor lessons to suit individual learning needs. Our size also allows teachers, directors, and administrators to know each student and their family and maintain regular, highly personalized, and proactive communication between school and home. Despite our small classes, we keep fees at an affordable level. We wish to make private education as financially accessible as possible for families in the region, and we are proud of the value we provide. Our school will always be small, always provide high-quality tuition in English, and always remain reasonably priced compared with other international schools. These are our commitments to families who place their trust and their children in our hands. Our goal is not to imitate or compete with large international schools in the Geneva region. Indeed, we aim to be different and in doing so to offer more choice to parents and their children. The British School of Geneva operates in a modern, purpose-built site that provides an outstanding learning environment. Classrooms are spacious (especially with a maximum of 18 students per class), and all areas of the 3-story school are graced with plentiful natural light. For a small school, facilities are exceptional. Fully equipped science labs, 3 ICT suites, and a theatre and music room mean that all specialist subject needs are catered for. A library, nurse's station, and dining hall ensure that BSG students benefit from abundant school amenities while enjoying a more intimate instructional setting. Students have the option of subscribing to our hot lunch program. Our caterer holds the Fourchette Verte quality label and can accommodate a range of dietary restrictions. The school is situated on the main road through Châtelaine, 2 minutes from the motorway and just a 10-minute drive from the United Nations at the heart of the international quarter of Geneva. The building has one main, supervised entrance for all students, staff, and visitors. Students can be safely dropped off by car using the driveway loop in front of the main door. The entrance to the building is entirely secure and is permanently supervised by staff. The large recreational area is also completely enclosed, thus offering maximum protection for students. The school is well served by public transport. Four bus routes stop right outside the building. A transport service covering the right bank of Geneva and neighboring France is also available.

- The Geneva School is about casting a vision for building living cathedrals. Our goal is to cast a vision before each of our students concerning the right and proper ends for which they are privileged with a Christian and classical education. Our goal for each one is not so short-sighted as to be only about grades and test scores and transcripts, regardless of how significant they are in attaining the ultimate goal. Our goals for them include being a responsible servant leader in the Kingdom of God. We aspire to attain wisdom and scholarship by cultivating the virtues of faith, hope, and love conjoined to goodness, truth, and beauty. We trust that each student will maximize his and her academic capabilities and their artistic, athletic, and leadership skills. We intend to educate and lead souls. Our fervent desire is to see students grow into the image of Christ and to bear the fruit of the Spirit, including love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The Geneva School seeks to provide students in grades K4–12 a superior education, utilizing an integrated curriculum, pedagogy and culture, both distinctly classical and distinctively Christian, that pursues goodness, truth, and beauty in all spheres of life, while viewing these spheres as elements of a divinely ordered whole. Further, Geneva seeks to instill in students a desire to love beauty, think deeply, and pursue Christ's calling. The Geneva School seeks to become an educational institution of academic and cultural gravitas, of extraordinary and exemplary virtuous scholars, a formidable force in the expansion and enrichment of Christ's kingdom, in the life both of the individual and the world. The Geneva School seeks to instill in the educational community it cultivates an enduring love of learning, a commitment to serve others, and a dedication to the pursuit of religious truth, moral goodness, and aesthetic beauty, forged from historical models orthodox Christianity. The Geneva School exists because students need an education that orders their loves and renews their minds in preparation for service in the Kingdom of God. That is to say; we believe that education is about Christian formation from the ground up. A robust academic program is essential to a formative Christian education, and Geneva's creative appropriation of the classical liberal arts delivers well on that score. Our vision, however, extends well beyond academics. A Geneva education is an education for life. Since a flourishing human life is an as much intellectual as it is social, spiritual, physical, and practical, we seek to provide an education that finds harmony of the academic, spiritual, social, and athletic aspects of a student's learning experience. When we think about academics, we often have in mind a palette of subjects like mathematics, science, history, and literature. While these subjects are central to our academic curriculum, perhaps it will be surprising to find that physical education and the fine and performing arts are also academic areas of study at Geneva, not merely extra-curricular activities. The creative, intellectual, and athletic are integral parts of our academic curriculum. The organization of the academic information included here reflects the structure of the school itself. In the tradition of the great schools in the liberal arts tradition, Geneva is organized into three schools, each bearing the name of one of the liberal arts of language that features prominently in the school's grades. The Grammar School includes grades K4–6, the Dialectic School grades 7–8, and the Rhetoric School grades 9–12. Although the language arts are highlighted somewhat by the school's names, please make no mistake, the mathematical arts, as well as the fine and performing arts, join them to form the fabric of the curriculum. Our teachers seek to embody the truths that they present through teaching that engages all the senses and through lives that demonstrate their commitment to and love for their students, each other, and the God they seek to serve. Subjects are integrated historically, thematically, and developmentally while always flowing from or leading to the truths of Scripture. The curriculum from K4–12 is vibrant and life-affirming, fostering dialogue between and among the students, teachers, and administrators. This curriculum aims to cultivate a love of learning. A goal of The Geneva School is to educate the whole child: mind, body, and soul. We recognize a great kingdom calling on every life and take seriously the opportunity to shape a child for their calling. The Geneva School aims to equip students for college and instill in them a life-long love of learning and delight in God's truth that will enable them to flourish in life and their chosen vocation.
