La Nouvelle École : A bilingual education that opens every door

A bilingual education of excellence, a fulfilling learning experience. At La Nouvelle École, each child flourishes to reach their full potential.

Bilingual immersion from an early age

At La Nouvelle École, children are taught in a bilingual English-French environment by native teachers. This early immersion facilitates the natural acquisition of languages and prepares children for life in a multicultural world.

Recognised dual academic programme

In Geneva, we combine the EYFS - Early Years Foundation Stage with the UK Early Years Foundation Stage. In Paris, the children follow the French national curriculum, enriched by the British EYFS programme. It's a bilingual approach that opens the door to different education systems, in France, Switzerland and internationally.

An education focused on children's development

Our mission is to nurture children's natural curiosity, give them self-confidence and provide them with a caring, structured environment. Thanks to individualised teaching, each student progresses at his or her own pace, in a stimulating and encouraging environment.

Learning through play and exploration

Educational neuroscience research shows that learning through play stimulates curiosity and promotes understanding. Through experimental and sensory activities, children discover the world while developing essential skills such as creativity, problem-solving and independence.

An alternative to daycare for toddlers (aged 2 and over)

Our bilingual nursery section welcomes children from the age of 2, offering a smooth transition to nursery school. In a safe and friendly environment, the youngest children develop confidence, independence and their first language skills in English and French.
