Full-time and flexible options
In addition to full-time spots, we are developing flexible enrollment options for certain older children, including those from families who homeschool under an approved program. These children can thus benefit from the school’s specialized instruction, friendships, and projects, while maintaining the flexibility their families need. Availability depends on age, program, and schedule.

What is the minimum age for children?
We welcome children ages 4 to 12.
How large are the student groups?
Classes are held with about 7 to 8 children per teacher. The groups come together for physical education and certain group activities.
What program do the children follow?
Children ages 4 to 6 spend their mornings in a fully equipped Montessori classroom led by AMI-certified Montessori teachers.
Then, from ages 6 to 9: the Plan d’études romand (PER), supplemented with elements from the French and British curricula.
In which languages will my child learn?
In French and English, every day, with German taught by a specialized teacher.
Do you teach coding and robotics?
Yes. Starting at age 6, coding, logic, and robotics are part of the curriculum; they are also included in the Wednesday workshops.
How much time do you spend in front of screens?
Screens are not part of our core curriculum, and social media is not allowed at school. The children use screens only when necessary, during robotics sessions, and much of the coding and robotics work is done without screens.
How can I track my child's progress?
Our online platform lets you view photos of your child’s work in their portfolio, as well as detailed information about their progress and evaluations. You can also arrange a time to discuss this with their teacher by sending us an email.
How much are the tuition fees?
Full-time tuition is approximately CHF 1,700–2,000 per month for 10 months, depending on age and program. Contact us for current rates.
Wednesday Afternoon Workshops Open to Everyone
The workshops will be open to all children. Please express your interest so you can be notified as soon as spots become available and enroll your children.
Do you offer part-time positions?
We offer flexible attendance options for some older children. Availability depends on age, program, and schedule. Please email us, and we’ll be able to provide you with more specific details about your options.
Do you organize field trips?
Yes, on a regular basis, throughout the year: from the zoo to the forest, including museums, the theater, and science workshops at EPFL and UNIL—all of which are always tied to what the students are learning in class.
