Curriculum details	Curriculum details AMI Montessori certified teachers guide a child-centered learning environment. The school serves children aged 3 to 12. The younger group (3–6) follows a bilingual English–French program with daily language exposure and an afternoon immersion. The older group (6–12) maintains daily exposure to English and French and adds German, creating a trilingual environment. There are Montessori classes for 3–6 and 6–12. The motto guiding the approach is Help me do it by myself.	Curriculum details The school offers a bilingual education in French and English for children aged 3–12, using a bespoke integrated curriculum based on the Plan d'études Romand (PER) and the English National Curriculum. A compulsory language tutoring programme from 3P supports students who have not spent three full years in bilingual education. The Primary Programme emphasises project-based learning with transdisciplinary topics and enrichment in theatre, dance, music, languages, sports, STEAM and arts. In the early years, children alternate languages weekly; by the end of 4P most pupils achieve mastery of both languages, and for those joining mid-course a language support plan is provided. The Middle School offers a balanced bilingual curriculum with French as the anchor language, enhanced English and German, core subjects taught in French and English, and arts taught in English; Latin is offered as an optional language. By the end of Middle School pupils are prepared to pursue Swiss bilingual Maturité, IGCSE and A Level programmes, or French/International Baccalaureate pathways.
