About Geneva English School

Geneva English School provides a high-quality, innovative and holistic international education. The primary section of the school was founded in 1961 and has been on the present site since 1989. In September 2016, GES Secondary was launched and in September 2017 it opened the doors to a new state-of-the-art campus in Versoix. For September 2018, we are admitting pupils into Years 7, 8 and 9 and we will then grow organically, year on year, towards Key Stages 4 and 5.

Our commitment is to provide an education that is unsurpassed in Europe. We take the traditions and strengths of the British system with its emphasis on in-depth learning and a broad co-curricular programme and combine them with the best elements of international programmes. We offer a truly interconnected curriculum and are committed to the development of skills and attributes appropriate to life in our rapidly changing world. Our approach is open, innovative and outward looking.

Geneva is a thriving cosmopolitan and cultural centre at the heart of Europe. The skiing season provides many opportunities for winter sports, while outdoor pursuits of all kinds are popular all year round. The cost of living is high but this will be reflected in salary offers. Many staff rent flats or houses, either in Switzerland or in neighbouring France. GES Primary and Early Years is in Genthod, a village on the north side of Lake Geneva, approximately 10 minutes from the airport. The southerly view from the primary site takes in the lake and the Alps, including the majestic Mont Blanc. GES Secondary is 7 minutes away in Versoix, a small town on the lake, with excellent transport links to Geneva city centre.

If this sounds like a learning environment where you could make a difference, joining a confident team of professionals who put children at the centre of the school’s focus within a friendly and supportive atmosphere, we look forward to receiving your application!
