Qualities and characteristics best defining the school

The British School of Geneva (BSG) was founded in response to an ever-growing need in Geneva for private, anglophone education and a specific demand for the English National programme. We offer the cohesive English National Curriculum from Reception through to A-Levels.

Teaching approach of the school

BSG offers a single and coherent curriculum leading to A-Levels in contrast to other schools with different curricula in the different sections. Core subjects are taught in English and BSG does not impose bilingual education on its students, though the French language is an important and compulsory part of the syllabus.
