About Ecole Internationale de Genève – La Grande Boissière
La Grande Boissière campus is the largest of Ecolint’s three sites and is centrally located in Geneva in pleasant wooded grounds, easily accessible via public transport.
The campus blends a charming mix of old and new buildings, including an 18th century château and a new, ultra-modern Centre des arts providing exceptional facilities for the creative, visual and performing arts. A STEM Centre, designed in collaboration with EPFL, gives students access to cutting-edge science and technology equipment.
Our Primary, Middle and Secondary schools all benefit from well-equipped libraries, media centres, extensive ICT facilities, assembly halls and recreational areas tailored to the needs of each age group.
The brand-new Centre sportif offers high-quality sports facilities, enabling a strong Physical Education programme as well as a wide range of recreational and competitive sporting opportunities.
Ecolint is a fully inclusive school, and very proud to have Geneva’s only dedicated pedagogical programme for children with moderate to severe learning difficulties, with over 50 specialist educators trained to help with a full range of differences.
