École Galilée

We are a bilingual and multicultural school welcoming children from preschool to middle school (and soon high school). Guided by a humanistic vision, it offers an environment that is both innovative and inclusive, where every child can flourish and find their place, whatever their differences.
Inspired by Galileo Galilei’s spirit of curiosity and critical thinking, our school encourages children to question, analyse, and create. We believe that each student is like a “dust of stars”, carrying within them a unique potential waiting to shine.
At Galilée, learning goes beyond academics. Our holistic approach develops knowledge alongside social, emotional, and artistic skills. We place well-being at the heart of our mission, with small class sizes, personalised support (including for students with special learning needs such as DYS, ADHD, or giftedness), and a strong culture of empathy and cooperation.
Families are true partners in our educational journey. With over 20 nationalities represented, our community reflects a spirit of openness, intercultural dialogue, and peace education.
École Galilée is:
Innovative and curious – constantly exploring new pedagogical approaches.
International and inclusive – embracing diversity as a strength.
Demanding and benevolent – combining academic rigour with personalised care.
Engaged – preparing responsible and open-minded citizens of the world.
