I am moving this summer to Geneva from UK and I have just started to look for the right school for my 3 kids (7-10-12)
They are already bilingual English/ Italian and they are at the moment in a lovely English school in the countryside.
This means a lot of sports at high level from y3, plenty of activities outside but still a strong academic education.
We are expat so the school fee won't be a problem but we are linked to a strict list of schools approved by our company
I have already visited some of them:
-College du Leman, nice campus, very warm welcome and they gave me a really nice and fulfilling tour, but I found a lot of bad reviews online, any experience?
-Ecolint, LGB wich is super prestigious, but a really big school. I liked it but I also had a feeling it could be too big for my 7 and 10 kids and too focused on the older kids.
Also: it is more American model while my kids have always been in schools "British style"
- I loved Ecole international de la Cote, really my cup of tea, but it seems not to be approved by our company😭
-IIL: I have an appointment for next week. I have been told that is a very traditional British school, some friends strongly suggested it, some other found it too strict and with a heavy amount of work from a very early age.
One of my kids is very strong accademically but another not at all, and for all of them sport is very important
I wouldn't mind for my kids to learn a good French but, as we speak Italian at home, their perfect English should keep coming from the school environment.
I really need some opinions and advices, please!
Thank you in advance, F
