Why choose a bilingual school in Switzerland?

Children learn more in their first 2,000 days than in any other six-year period in their life. Studies have shown that children who are educated in a multilingual setting are more apt to learn new languages later on in life. Multilingual minds have been found to be more nimble and adaptable, they are better problem solvers and have better memories. Their ability for planning, impulse, focus and learning to discard irrelevant information is enhanced. The bilingual brain is more flexible, it switches back and forth between two languages and allows children to think and speak in each language versus translating between languages. In today's globalized world, being bilingual is becoming an increasingly valuable asset, both in terms of personal and career development. Choosing a bilingual school for your child can be a wise decision, as it not only gives them the opportunity to learn a second language but also provides them with exposure to other cultures and ways of thinking. Bilingual education not only improves cognitive abilities and critical thinking skills, but it also helps children to become more open-minded and accepting of diversity. Moreover, bilingual schools often offer a rich curriculum that integrates language, arts, and social studies, giving students a more well-rounded education. Ultimately, choosing a bilingual school can provide children with a unique educational experience that can benefit them throughout their lives.

Parent and Student Reviews

  • My parents were searching for a boarding school … they (and I) decided Institut Montana would be the best fit – the student population, the amazing view, the overall welcoming feeling… whenever a new student arrived, everyone would be curious to get to know them and to learn from them.

  • I learned that respect will take you far. I learned that communicating your thoughts with others and respecting theirs took you even further … I learned that rising above differences only made me see clearer. I learned how to bring up my own children using the same values. Today, I own an establishment in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia which focuses on preserving the history of the old town. I believe my love for history from a young age had a lot to do with my teachers.

  • The benefits of studying in an international environment with people from all over the world are tremendous. I went to Institut Montana for two years and graduated with the High School Diploma and the International Baccalaureate, which provided a great foundation for my career path. I always had the support of my teachers and advisers who taught me to take risks and aim high. The school also does a great job cultivating it’s network of alumni from all over the world. I’m incredibly thankful for my time at Institut Montana and the friends I’ve made on the magnificent Zugerberg.

  • Haut-Lac is not just a school, it is a community for families where children and parents alike can form long lasting bonds of friendship. My children had five very happy years there, the standard of education delivered is very high by a team of dedicated, incredibly hardworking staff and they are reaping the rewards of such a start now in their new schools. What they have also learned thanks to the IB programme is how to grow and develop into mature, responsible young adults, very aware of the issues of their world and how to take a pro-active stance to address them. Thank you Haut-Lac for an amazing experience and hopefully we will return to visit you all again soon.

  • My two sons actually started school at Haut Lac back in the early days in 2000 and with the exception of our 6 year expatriation, did all of their schooling at Haut Lac. They have now graduated and both have gotten accepted to their first choice Universities and are now pursuing their dreams.
    It is my feeling that my children received an excellent education at Haut Lac, but so much more. They have made amazing lifelong friends from all nationalities, they were and still are a part of the amazing Haut-Lac community which never ends. Once you are a part of this school community, you are for life, myself included! Today my children are two incredibly well rounded young men with a global perspective on life and very open minds, and i have no doubt that they will go very far in life. I credit a large part of who they are today to the school, the teachers, the community and the friends that they made at Haut Lac.
    I can without a doubt, highly recommend this school. It’s not just a school, it’s an experience within itself.

  • Our children have got off to a great start at GES, and we are so happy with our decision. The school is everything we had hoped for, and more. Friendly, unpretentious, caring and inclusive. The standard of teaching is excellent and no doubt the best our children have had to date. Although small in size, the school offers a good range of after-school activities, and our children have already had a number of fun adventures up in the mountains! Finally, every parent I’ve met so far has spoken highly of the Head and his vision for GES Secondary. I feel we’re in very safe hands here.

  • We are happy to know our son is in the best school, surrounded by highly competent, positive and caring teachers, nice pupils and overall a beautiful environment. I might say that GES is in its own league, no school in Geneva can compete with your program, teachers, facilities and overall environment.

  • My sons are really thriving at GES. It’s the quality of the teaching, the individual one-to-one care – but above all, it is the special fizz and buzz you get from GES. I haven’t ever felt that anywhere else.
