Welcome to the British School of Geneva

Discover how our students are mastering the skills to lead and succeed


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.

Where learning comes first 

Most schools talk about what they teach. We focus on how your child learns. Through the Learning.First™ approach, students reflect on their progress, explore new approaches, and make decisions that drive their growth. 

Curiosity fuels our learning

The best learning happens when students are actively engaged. We ignite curiosity through hands-on projects and inquiry-based learning, making learning exciting, memorable and full of exploration.

Confidence drives lifelong learning

Our students trust in their abilities, build confidence, and lead their way forward. This mindset helps them believe they can learn and achieve anything, fostering a love for lifelong learning.

The power of 'Good Struggles'

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.

Teachers as co-pilots 

Learning here is a partnership. Teachers work alongside students as guides, helping them navigate choices, embrace good struggles, inspire those 'aha' Amazing Learning moments of self-discovery, and grow in confidence.

Continuous improvement

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 improvement in the areas that matter most for student learning.

LIP drives real progress by helping teachers and leaders reflect on what works and how to adapt quickly to meet learners' needs. By focusing on progress and building confidence, we ensure every student feels supported to take on challenges and achieve their best. 

 This means learners benefit from spaces designed to build curiosity, resilience and the skills they need to achieve their best—not just in school, but for life.
