IB Curriculum International Schools in Geneva, Switzerland

Geneva’s IB international schools are set in a compact, highly international city where many institutions offer the full IB continuum (Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma) or combinations of IB with bilingual French - English pathways and other national programmes. Instruction is commonly English-medium, French-medium or explicitly bilingual, with additional modern-language options such as German offered at many schools. Annual day tuition for IB places varies substantially by school and by age, with published guides putting typical ranges from the high-teens of thousands of Swiss francs up to the mid-forties of thousands, and parents should expect separate registration, capital-development, transport, meal, exam and trip charges on top of tuition. Admissions follow the Swiss school year (main intake in August/September), waiting lists and language/placement assessments are widespread, and relocating families are generally advised to start enquiries several months ahead and to consider local French-medium public options if rapid placement is essential.
