History	History The MOSER School was founded in 1961 by Henri Moser, with the opening of a private French school for children of foreign parents in Geneva. Since then, the innovative spirit of the family business has supported a child-centred pedagogy and developments in academic, digital and social skills. Ecole Moser Nyon offers a global pathway over 6, 10 or 14 years, from primary school (from 1P) or Secondary I (9th grade) to the Swiss maturité (with bilingual German, English or no mention) or to the double diploma: Swiss maturité + International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). As of the 2024-2025 academic year, Ecole Moser educates 450 students. The campus is located at Allée des Moulins 16, 1274 Grens.	History Founded in 1924, the International School of Geneva opened on 17 September with eight students and a rabbit, established by local educators and officials from the League of Nations and the ILO to provide international education based on the éducation nouvelle movement. In 1929 the school moved to La Grande Boissière and Marie-Thérèse Maurette became director. By 1958 the student body reached 1,000, and in 1968 the Foundation of Ecolint was formed and the English-French IB Diploma Programme began. In 1974 the school merged with Lycée des Nations - Collège International de la Châtaigneraie creating the La Châtaigneraie campus, and in 1975 merged with the United Nations Primary School.
