Curriculum details	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.	Curriculum details Eden School offers a bilingual French-English curriculum in Geneva, with additional German language exposure. The Eden track follows the French system, with nursery beginning at age 3 and primary ending at age 11, and students completing their schooling at age 18; the Geneva cantonal track begins nursery at age 4, ends primary at age 12, and ends secondary at age 19. The primary program is bilingual French/English and integrates the Romand PER to allow continuing studies in either pathway. In kindergarten, the program emphasizes emotional safety, language and cognitive development, and includes daily music and movement as part of the bilingual experience. The primary curriculum covers mathematics, sciences, reading, writing, history/geography, languages, arts and physical education, with project-based learning used at key stages and a strong focus on social-emotional learning. Subjects are taught through a plurilingual immersion, with French and English instruction and German introduced in some years.
