Frequently asked questions (FAQS)

  • How long does Collège du Léman’s admissions process take?
    From the moment you get in touch with us to the offer of a place, our admissions process can take as little as two or three weeks. Timings do vary, though, as each family’s application journey is different. Please speak to our admissions team to find out more.
  • Can my child start at any time?
    We accept applications all year round and your child can start at any time during the academic year.
  • Do you offer boarding?
    Yes, we offer boarding for 8 to 18-year-olds. Our safe, secure, and happy community is like a family, where students receive the 24/7 care, support, and attention they need to thrive. While boarding at Collège du Léman, your child will make friends for life, enjoy amazing activities outside of school, and develop the values and skills to step into the real world and change it for the better.
  • What curriculum do you teach?

    We offer a range of globally respected curricula, qualifications, and diplomas that give every student the right opportunities to excel. From an early age, your child can learn in English, French, or a combination of both. They can also switch between pathways year-to-year, ensuring they make the most of our vibrant bilingual environment, and become gifted dual-language communicators.

    In High School (ages 14 to 18), we offer a wide range of globally respected diplomas. Our students study for their IGCSEs, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), the International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme (IBCP), the American High School Diploma, the French Baccalaureate, and the Swiss Maturité.

  • Do you offer a bilingual programme?
    Yes, we do. Our students learn in English, French, or a combination of the two from Pre-school, through Primary to Middle School. This means a subject might be taught in French on Monday, in English on Tuesday, and so on. 

    In High School, our students can choose to follow an international, American, French, or Swiss programme.
