Maternelle (Kindergarten)

Kindergarten lasts three years and prepares children for ‘big school’ by building on the upbringing they receive at home.

Primaire (Primary)

One of the aims of primary school at Florimont is to support the pupils throughout their time at school, helping them increase their knowledge and skills.

Cycle (Middle School)

A common core of three years either in French or in a bilingual programme (French/English) leads to the Swiss high school programme (Plan d’Étude Romand).

Secondaire 2 (Diplomas)

Our Upper Secondary (Diploma) programme offers an education of excellence, both academically and personally. It prepares students for three diplomas: the Swiss Maturité, the French Baccalauréat, or the International Baccalaureate (IB).

Why choose the Florimont Institute?

Founded in 1905, the Institut Florimont supports students in a rigorously structured and caring academic environment. Located in Geneva, on the Petit-Lancy campus, the school offers bilingual or French-language instruction from kindergarten through Secondaire 2.

The Institut Florimont is based on an educational approach that combines academic discipline, attention to each student, and openness to the world, an approach that aims to develop solid foundations, critical thinking, and progressive autonomy in learning.

The campus offers modern, regularly renovated facilities, including science and robotics laboratories (STEAM), as well as sports facilities adapted to different age groups.

Students benefit from individualized support provided by dedicated teaching teams that take into account each student’s pace and goals. This support prepares students for the three programs offered by the school: Swiss Matura, French Baccalaureate, and International Baccalaureate (IB).
