Bell One World Nursery & Primary School is a British-curriculum, English-medium school in Geneva, serving ages 2 to 9. The Bell Colombettes campus in the Nations district offers Nursery through Primary, following the Early Years Foundation Stage framework in Nursery and Reception, then progressing to Key Stage 1 (Years 1–2) and Key Stage 2 (Years 3–4). The Bell Way, developed with an Emeritus Professor from the University of Cambridge, guides learning with six principles: a child-led, theme-based approach; learning inside and outside the classroom; and personalised teaching in small groups. English is the language of instruction, with French taught as part of the curriculum and a bilingual Nursery option available. The school emphasises sport as part of its arts and physical education focus and maintains small class sizes: Nursery 1:8 (1:6 bilingual); Reception/Primary 1:12 (maximum 12). Facilities include indoor spaces and areas with convenient access by car or transit in Geneva.
