For more than a century, Ecolint has pursued a distinctive mission: to provide an education founded on peace, international-mindedness and the promotion of diversity. Founded in Geneva in 1924, our school has upheld this ambition from the very beginning, with a relevance that remains stronger today than ever before.
In a world undergoing profound political, economic, demographic, social, environmental and technological transformations, we prepare every student to understand the major issues of their time, to cultivate a love of learning and to develop their autonomy. Our personalised support fosters their well-being and helps them succeed.
Our commitment to academic excellence goes hand in hand with an essential conviction: placing every student at the heart of all our decisions. Through inclusive admissions, a recognised educational model, a highly qualified teaching staff and strong academic results, which consistently exceed national and global averages, we support every student in developing their full potential. The trust families place in us is reflected in their loyalty: when their life circumstances allow, nearly 100% choose to continue their children’s education at Ecolint.
Education is not only about preparing students to succeed in their exams; we develop their critical thinking so that they can address with discernment the major challenges shaping our world, including sustainability, geopolitical developments, international cooperation and artificial intelligence.
This vision is rooted in a tradition of innovation that has characterised Ecolint since its creation. As the birthplace of the Model United Nations in the 1950s and of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB) in 1968, our school continues to innovate with the same ambition. Today, we continue to evolve our educational approaches in light of the latest research, so that our students continually develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes and adaptability they need to flourish and act with confidence in an ever-changing world.
The impact of this approach is reflected in the ambitious paths pursued by our graduates. After obtaining the IB Diploma or the Swiss Maturité, more than 80% of our graduates continue their studies at renowned universities and higher education institutions in Switzerland and around the world.
Because we are a non-profit Foundation, every resource entrusted to us is reinvested for the direct and exclusive benefit of our students.
This commitment enables us to strengthen the excellence of our educational programmes and learning environments while continuing to pursue our ambition of social inclusion. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we offer scholarship programmes to students from all backgrounds, convinced that the diversity of experiences and perspectives is one of our greatest strengths.
Finally, Ecolint is above all a community. Students, families, teachers, staff, alumni, donors and partners share the same commitment to our mission and values. This sense of belonging continues well beyond the years spent at the school: our alumni remain deeply connected to the Foundation and, through their engagement, expertise and generosity, help keep its legacy alive.
I warmly thank you for your interest in Ecolint and invite you to discover a school where excellence serves a mission: to educate students to be global citizens with the courage and capacity to create a just and joyful tomorrow together.
