Ecolint

Founded in 1924, the Foundation of the International School of Geneva, commonly called Ecolint, educates 4500 students aged 3 to 18 representing more than 130 nationalities. Each of our eight schools is dedicated to the development of seven globally valuable, future-ready competencies: we develop lifelong learning, self-agency, the ability to interact with the world, with others, and with resources in order to develop transdisciplinary and multilevel thinking. Through this, we pursue our mission, which is to educate students to be global citizens with the courage and ability to create a just and joyful future together. Ecolint is founded on strong humanitarian values and is proud of its long history of educational innovation, including the creation of the Model United Nations system and the International Baccalaureate. We have about 1250 employees representing more than 60 nationalities, united as a core of dynamic professionals committed to our mission.

The La Grande Boissière (LGB) campus is located in the center of Geneva and blends a set of 18th-century buildings with state-of-the-art facilities in STEM and Arts. The bilingual campus (French and English) accommodates nearly 1,900 students in primary, secondary, and upper schools. Our unique universal learning program, designed in collaboration with UNESCO's International Bureau of Education, aims to anchor learning in deep conceptual understanding and the assessment of Ecolint's global competencies, to ensure that learning outcomes have a positive social impact.
