Celebrating multilingualism

Language is more than a communication tool—it’s a gateway to cultural understanding, friendships and professional opportunities.

 

At British School of Geneva, multilingualism is at the heart of our community. With students from over 70 nationalities speaking 60+ languages, we see language learning as essential for personal and academic success. From Early Years to A Level, learners build confidence in English, French and other world languages like German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, and Japanese.

  • Using both Oxford and Password EAL assessments

Our goal: Students achieve at least B2 proficiency in English, ready for higher education standards.
