Founded in 1924, the Fondation de l'Ecole internationale de Genève, commonly known as Ecolint, educates 4,500 students aged 3 to 18, representing over 130 nationalities. Each of our eight schools is dedicated to the development of seven global competencies, which prepare students for the future: we develop lifelong learning, autonomy, the ability to interact with the world and with others in harmony with available resources, in order to develop transdisciplinary and multilingual thinking. In this way, we carry out our mission, which is to educate students to be global citizens with the capacity and courage to create a just and joyful tomorrow together. Ecolint is founded on strong humanitarian values and boasts a long history of pedagogical innovation, including the creation of the United Nations system-based model and the International Baccalaureate. We have around 1250 employees representing over 60 nationalities, united in a single core of dynamic professionals committed to our mission.
The La Châtaigneraie Campus is located in the hamlet of Châtaigneraie, overlooking the village of Founex and Lake Geneva, not far from Geneva. With a mix of old and new buildings, the campus is divided into an elementary school and a secondary school, with a total of around 1,600 students. We are proud to be both a global International Baccalaureate school and to offer our students the opportunity to follow the Swiss Maturité curriculum. Our programs are based on the IB Learner Profile, a set of ideals that inspire, motivate and guide the work of the school, helping students to become more thoughtful, grounded, responsible and caring global citizens. Promoting these qualities is at the heart of everything we do. Our international team of educators is dedicated to welcoming and supporting a diverse student population.
