About Us

The British School of Geneva (BSG) was founded in response to an ever-growing need in Geneva for private, anglophone education and a specific demand for the English National programme.

We offer the cohesive English National Curriculum from Reception through to A-Levels (Years 12 and 13/Sixth Form).  Our programme is open to students of all nationalities and educational backgrounds who wish to specialise in their preferred subjects.  A-Level courses allow greater flexibility to students who have specific areas of strength or interest – we build on and further develop these strengths, enhancing their prospects for entrance to top universities around the world.

We are a diverse school and students from over 70 nationalities enrich our classrooms with their different cultures and perspectives. Our school also benefits greatly from contributions from our parent community to classroom and extracurricular activities and events.

Our teachers are very focused on tailoring their lessons to suit individual learning needs. Teachers, directors and administrators know each student and their family very well and maintain regular and proactive communication between the school and home.

We strive to keep fees at an affordable level, as 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 goal is not to imitate or compete with the large international schools in Geneva. We aim to be different and in doing so to offer more choice to parents and their children.

History and Organisation

2005

We welcomed our first students in 2005 as the A-Level College, offering a unique opportunity to anglophone teens in the region to pursue this internationally valued and recognised diploma.

2009

We expanded as our organisation was granted permission by the Geneva Education Department (Département de l’instruction publique) to open the Geneva Secondary School in our new purpose-built building.

2011

Our authorisation was again broadened to include the Geneva Primary School. Beginning in 2011, our Primary, Secondary and A-Level programmes were re-grouped and renamed The British School of Geneva.
