About Geneva English School
Geneva English School provides a high-quality, innovative and holistic 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 its new state-of-the-art campus in Versoix. The Secondary is growing organically, year on year, and in September 2020 there will be classes in Years 7 - 11 (ages 11 - 16). In Key Stage 4 (14 - 16) we offer a broad range of GCSE and IGCSE courses, which will be followed by an innovative Key Stage 5 (16 - 18) diploma programme based on A-Levels..
At GES, 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 with interdisciplinary and extended projects, and the development of attributes and key skills appropriate to life in the 21st Century. Our approach is open, innovative and outward looking.
Geneva is an exciting cosmopolitan centre – the hub of Europe. The skiing season provides many opportunities for winter sports, and outdoor pursuits are very popular in the other seasons. The cost of living is high but this will be reflected in salary offers. Many people rent apartments and housing in Switzerland and also in neighbouring France (10 minutes from the school). The primary school is in Genthod, a commune on the north side of Lac Léman, approximately 10 minutes from Geneva Airport. The southerly view from the school takes in the lake and the Alps, including Mont Blanc. The secondary school is 7 minutes away in Versoix, a town with excellent transport links to Geneva city centre.
If you would like to join a confident team of professionals putting children at the centre of the school’s focus within a dynamic, collaborative environment, please send us your application!
