A home away from home...
Our 55 years of experience in Boarding Education allows us to provide the best for our
students, keeping them active and busy in the classroom, while providing the warmth,
love, security and care needed for a child to thrive.
Collège du Léman provides a caring environment with a strong family spirit. Our House
Parents make students feel safe and at home. Our Primary Boarding House is designed
specifically for children from 8 to 10 years old. Two or three students of different
nationalities share a room, allowing them to have multi-cultural experiences.
Meals are a central part of life here. Breakfast and dinner are served in the House, enjoyed
by all the students and the House Parents together. Students receive help with their
homework from the House Parents. After this is finished, there is still time for some games,
before bedtime. A good night’s sleep is guaranteed after a rewarding and fulfilling day.

Academics
Students at our Primary School learn in a
multicultural and multilingual environment.
The Primary School programme applies
a thematic approach to learning. With
a focus on critical thinking, students
come to understand that all subjects are
interrelated and content becomes more
meaningful.
Students can elect to take the French,
the English or bilingual programme, with
the opportunity to change between
programmes.
