Introduction

United Montessori Children School is a bilingual Montessori program in Geneva, Switzerland, serving children from ages 1 to 6. The school operates on two campuses, Grand-Lancy and Petit-Lancy, with a 3–6 program hosted in a prepared Montessori environment using authentic materials to support autonomous learning, foundational cognitive and social development, and practical life skills. In Grand-Lancy, 3–6 classes are capped at 25 children. The school follows a full-day schedule split into morning sessions from 8:10 to 13:00 and afternoon sessions from 13:00 to 16:00. The program is bilingual with French and English, including weekly English classes from age 3 and a multilingual environment that reflects Geneva's multicultural community. Founded in 2016, the school began in Grand-Lancy and expanded to Petit-Lancy in 2020, later adding a Montessori community for ages 18 months to 3 years in 2024. Educators are certified to guide children with kindness; families are essential partners in learning.
