Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)The EYFS programme, based on the English National Curriculum (ENC), has a unique focus on open-classroom, child-led, play-based learning and ‘in the moment planning’. Our young learners develop their skills, interests, self-esteem and confidence in an English and French setting.

Primary School Our Primary programme, also based on the ENC, is complemented by the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), an interdisciplinary, thematic and creative curriculum with specific learning goals explored through Topic Work. Lessons are taught in English, but the curriculum also offers a French mother tongue and French as a foreign language programme.

Alternative: Bilingual Swiss MaturitéStarting in Year 6, students can choose to follow an English-French bilingual curriculum based on the ‘plan d’études romand’ (PER) as an optimal preparation for the Bilingual Swiss Maturité, with all of the benefits of studying in an international, bilingual environment.

The IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) The MYP takes a holistic approach to learning with its inquiry-based, student-led focus on creativity, independent learning, reflection, community and service. Students are taught academic skills, which enable them to put subjects into the broader context, present ideas and communicate effectively.

The IGCSE The IGCSE is the most popular international qualification for 14 to 16 year olds and opens doors to higher education or professional studies worldwide. Students study 10 IGCSE subjects, providing academic scope and depth of knowledge and a solid preparation for the academic challenges of the IBDP.

The IB Diploma Programme (IBDP)The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (DP) is recognised and highly respected by the world’s leading universities. The rigorous, academically challenging curriculum is made up of six subject groups and the DP core: theory of knowledge (TOK), creativity, activity, service (CAS) and the extended essay. Many of our students pursue a bilingual Diploma.
