A qualified English-speaking Assistant

We are a private school located in the heart of the old town of Geneva. Through an approach that combines active Montessori and Reggio Emilia pedagogies, we offer a child-centered education where the staff plays the role of facilitators, guiding the children through their learning process. The goal is to develop their self-esteem, self-confidence and enthusiasm for learning, while respecting their pace and individual needs.
Our values:
Respect for the child as a competent individual – We encourage children's autonomy in all aspects of their education and adapt our teaching to their development and interests.
The environment as the third educator – We place great importance on a carefully prepared space that allows children to explore freely, while benefiting from supportive guidance that fosters their socio-emotional development. Play occupies a central place in our approach.
Connection with nature and the community – Outdoor outings, exploration of the neighborhood, and regular events with families enrich our program.
