Curriculum details	Curriculum details The school offers a bilingual education in French and English for children aged 3–12, using a bespoke integrated curriculum based on the Plan d'études Romand (PER) and the English National Curriculum. A compulsory language tutoring programme from 3P supports students who have not spent three full years in bilingual education. The Primary Programme emphasises project-based learning with transdisciplinary topics and enrichment in theatre, dance, music, languages, sports, STEAM and arts. In the early years, children alternate languages weekly; by the end of 4P most pupils achieve mastery of both languages, and for those joining mid-course a language support plan is provided. The Middle School offers a balanced bilingual curriculum with French as the anchor language, enhanced English and German, core subjects taught in French and English, and arts taught in English; Latin is offered as an optional language. By the end of Middle School pupils are prepared to pursue Swiss bilingual Maturité, IGCSE and A Level programmes, or French/International Baccalaureate pathways.	Curriculum details Eden School offers a bilingual French-English curriculum in Geneva, with additional German language exposure. The Eden track follows the French system, with nursery beginning at age 3 and primary ending at age 11, and students completing their schooling at age 18; the Geneva cantonal track begins nursery at age 4, ends primary at age 12, and ends secondary at age 19. The primary program is bilingual French/English and integrates the Romand PER to allow continuing studies in either pathway. In kindergarten, the program emphasizes emotional safety, language and cognitive development, and includes daily music and movement as part of the bilingual experience. The primary curriculum covers mathematics, sciences, reading, writing, history/geography, languages, arts and physical education, with project-based learning used at key stages and a strong focus on social-emotional learning.

Wellbeing & support	Wellbeing & support
Social & emotional learning	Social & emotional learning École Mosaic offers a bilingual and multicultural education for children aged 3–12. Classes are taught in English and French by native-speaking teachers. It has a strong track record for producing well-rounded students with excellent socio-emotional skills. The school fosters an international community through diverse extracurricular activities and a caring learning environment that supports social-emotional development. Wellbeing and social-emotional growth are supported by dedicated staff and school practices.	Social & emotional learning Mindfulness develops the emotional, cognitive, and social development of the child. It helps the child understand what they feel, recognize their internal states, and respond in a more measured way. By fostering a calm relationship with emotions and thoughts, the child builds inner security that supports engagement, trust, and readiness to learn. At Eden, mindfulness is fully integrated into an educational vision that considers the child in all dimensions. The practices are complemented by positive discipline, used daily in classroom life to support the development of social‑emotional skills.
Special educational needs (SEN)	Special educational needs (SEN) École Mosaic is an inclusive school that aims to tailor the environment to each child's needs. Teachers receive regular training on learning difficulties and special needs. The school engages in ongoing dialogue with families, therapists, the teaching team and the referring doctor, under the supervision of the Wellbeing and Success Coordinator. When learning difficulties arise, the Pedagogical Team discusses options with parents and may arrange additional support or mediation. Some students receive personalised education plans with progress monitored, in collaboration with external support as needed.	Special educational needs (SEN) Teaching is differentiated to meet each child's needs, promoting both academic and personal progress through differentiated tools tailored to individual requirements. From early on, each subject is taught by a dedicated specialist, ensuring passionate delivery and deep mastery of content. This variety of approaches exposes children to different ways of thinking and learning, enriching their educational experience. Assigning a subject-by-subject teacher helps avoid over‑reliance on a single authority and supports a holistic, balanced education that encourages autonomy and exploration of interests. The team has been trained to become experts in positive discipline, providing a firm yet benevolent framework in which children take responsibility for their actions.
English as an additional language	English as an additional language École Mosaic offers bilingual French/English education from Nursery to 8P. From year 3 (3P), children whose mother tongue is neither French nor English join the linguistic tutoring programme. Tutors help students acquire or develop the missing language in small groups one to three times a week, in close collaboration with class teachers. Parents are informed through a linguistic tutoring booklet and regular meetings to discuss progress.	English as an additional language The school offers multilingual instruction in French, English, and German. The Veyrier campus provides a natural immersion in French and English. The Frank‑Thomas campus notes bilingual French/English instruction and integrates the Romand curriculum (PER). English language activities are available, including English Club open to all (whether or not the child attends Eden). These language offerings support students in developing bilingual proficiency.
Mental wellbeing	Mental wellbeing Wellbeing is overseen by a Wellbeing and Success Coordinator who coordinates support involving families, therapists and the school doctor. The school emphasizes respect, tolerance and empathy as part of daily life, helping students develop healthy self-understanding and interpersonal skills. The approach supports social-emotional development across the curriculum and activities, fostering a caring and inclusive community where students feel safe and supported.	Mental wellbeing Mindfulness supports the child's emotional, cognitive, and social development, helping them understand what they feel and recognize internal states to respond appropriately. In kindergarten, mindfulness activities use tools like Kimochis® to help children name and acknowledge emotions; in primary, Brain Ball® and the Eline Snel method support attention and emotional regulation. These practices are supported by positive discipline in daily classroom life, reinforcing emotional and relational skills. Eden's approach emphasizes emotional accompaniment as part of its holistic educational vision.
Safeguarding	Safeguarding The school maintains safeguarding policies and procedures, including anti-bullying measures and clear reporting processes. Staff receive safeguarding training, and concerns are addressed promptly under the guidance of designated safeguarding roles.
