At the British School of Geneva, learning is transformative - a journey filled with discovery, 'good struggles' and full of possibilities. Our students don’t just learn facts, they learn how to learn. As co-pilots in their education, our learners work alongside teachers to discover what works best for them. They develop the life skills to adapt, reflect and grow, with confidence. These are not just skills for school; they’re essential skills for life.
Life competencies are the essential tools every student needs to succeed – in learning, in relationships and in their future. Our focus is on skills that stay with students for life.
We believe great learning happens just beyond the comfort zone. That’s why we create purposeful challenges, or 'good struggles', that help students stay motivated while they grow.Through these experiences, students build resilience, solve problems and learn to keep going – even when it’s hard.
At our school, everything we do is designed to help learners grow and succeed. With the International Schools Partnership’s Learning Improvement Process (LIP), we ensure continuous progress in the areas that matter most for student learning.
LIP drives real improvement by helping teachers and leaders reflect on what works and adapt quickly to meet learners' needs. This ensures that learning isn’t static – it’s always improving, for every student.
Through our partnership with Camtree and Cambridge researchers, we’ve gathered evidence to understand what works best in education. This research underpins everything we do, ensuring every moment of learning has real impact.
Through life competencies. The skills that students master to lead and succeed.

Our schools are clear about the knowledge and skills students need to succeed academically.
Beyond that, our schools are equipped with innovative curricula, a research-backed learning approach and high-impact assessment tools, all designed to deepen each student’s understanding. Continuous improvement is fundamental to ISP.
All our schools follow a learning improvement framework which monitors performance against selected criteria proven to best support student learning.
It helps us enhance our approach to have the greatest impact on students’ success.
We believe that there are some key life skills that all students need to thrive. These include everything from digital literacy to global awareness.
These skills prepare them to adapt to a rapidly changing world, make informed decisions, and build meaningful relationships, setting a strong foundation for lifelong success and fulfilment.
ISP students develop these skills over the course of their school years, through learning experiences inside and outside the classroom.
International learning is part of our schools’ DNA. Our students are encouraged to explore a range of world languages.
We ensure all our students can communicate and collaborate confidently in at least one world language (usually English, Mandarin, Arabic, Spanish or French), in addition to their home languages.
Every year, iSP students around the world take part in multicultural and multilingual experiences called International Learning Opportunities for Students (ILOS). Whether it’s becoming a United Nations delegate or directing a film, ILOSprogrammes open the world to every student.
Every ILOS experience encourages students to discover their true interests as they prepare to succeed in today’s global society.

iSP’s bespoke university and careers-related programme, Future Pathways, helps students to make informed choices about their future.
We work with each student to explore their academic skills and interests.
Then we bring experts in their field to share practical insights and guide students on their next steps to help them reach their university, college, or career of choice
We measure the quality of learning through the International Schools Partnership’s Learning Improvement Process. This framework helps teachers and leaders reflect on what works and adapt quickly to meet each learner’s needs, ensuring every student feels ready to embrace good struggles and succeed.
Informed by evidence gathered through this process, our learning spaces continually evolve to spark curiosity, foster resilience, and prepare students with the skills they need to thrive—not just in school, but in life. Every improvement is guided by what drives real progress for learners.
British School of Geneva is a place where saying "Yes, I can!" is just the beginning.
