Collège du Léman International School

We have a very low turnover rate, ensuring continuity and excellence in teaching with some teachers having taught for over 30 years. Our teachers are international like our students adding to the schools’ diversity.

We offer the Fieldwork Education International Curriculum, the fastest-growing independent international curriculum in the world, for Pre-School, Primary School and Middle School, providing our students with an enriching and engaging international curriculum to help develop their knowledge, personal skills, and international mindedness. This curriculum prepares them well for the IB, IGCSE, American High School Diploma, Swiss Maturité and French Baccalaureate options that we offer in High School.

We offer a truly bilingual curriculum from Preschool upwards, as students learn subjects in both English and French. At Collège du Léman, this means that a subject can be taught Monday in French, Tuesday in English, etc. In the first two years of Middle School, students in the bilingual programme will study all subjects in both languages, while in the last year students will choose a specific language for 70% of their classes in order to adequately prepare them for the respective High School curriculums.

With over 100 extra-curricular activities available, we provide students with the freedom to choose their path and to explore their interests. Our wide-ranging extra-curricular programme allows your child to discover activities that excite and inspire them. Every year we try to provide new activities to meet the desires of our student body.

Our classes vary in size. However, our Middle School and High School have a maximum average number of 16 students per class, while in Primary School we have an average maximum of 20 students per class. Our Preschool has a maximum of 18 students per class but this number is divided between a teacher and an assistant to ensure we effectively meet the needs of younger pupils.

We offer our students a wide variety of excursions and trips to build cultural awareness, and skills such as leadership and communication. Students work with local communities to learn about the world and understand the importance of helping others, exemplified by our annual trip to Tanzania. Other examples of trips and excursions is the Middle School graduation trip to Parc Asterix to celebrate their achievements and the MIT STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths) trip to Poland, where students have the opportunity to meet leading MIT scientists and work on collaborative, student-led projects and experiments. Students also have the opportunity to compete in sports competitions in Switzerland and abroad. Our boarders have the unique opportunity to go on mountain trips, cultural expeditions in Switzerland, international excursions and ski-weekends to allow them to have unforgettable experiences and learn about new cultures.

We communicate via email, phone, skype and our Parent Portal. Some teachers also use age appropriate applications to share work and feedback with parents. We also provide parents with the opportunity to have individual meetings, attend events and meet members of our academic teams. Furthermore, the principals of our school act as focal points of contact and are available to assist parents and answer any questions that they may have. Our teachers are always available to talk and in both the first and second semester, we run parent-teacher meetings to give parents the opportunity to communicate with all members of faculty.
