In the early 20th century, Geneva's growth and international outlook shaped Florimont as Missionaries established the school on the Petit-Lancy plateau after being expelled from Evian and Mélan, with Father François Jeantet guiding and Joseph Rivollet serving as Florimont's first director. The campus expanded with new wings for primary in 1956 and for secondary in 1962, and science and robotics labs were added; a nursery opened in 2013, and sports facilities grew with the Florimont stadium in 1963, a sports building in 2010, and the Marcel Baechler gym in 2020. Florimont presented its first candidate for the Swiss Federal Maturity in 1943, and in 2014 the school opened the International Baccalaureate and the Cantonal Maturity pathways, offering Swiss Maturité, French Baccalauréat, and the International Baccalaureate. In 2025 Florimont marked 120 years since its founding, reflecting ongoing evolution to provide an education that combines local roots with international perspectives.
