Eden School is a private bilingual international school in Geneva, Switzerland, with two campuses near the city center. It delivers a bilingual French-English curriculum with additional German language exposure, serving children from ages 3 to 12, with pathways that align to both the French education system and the Geneva cantonal track. The Eden track begins with nursery at age 3 and primary through age 11, while the cantonal track extends to secondary schooling. The primary program is bilingual in French and English and integrates the Romand PER to allow continuation in either pathway. Students learn through plurilingual immersion, with daily focus on social-emotional development and project-based learning across mathematics, sciences, reading and writing, languages, arts and physical education. The school emphasizes family-like, personalized education in a modern, adaptable environment, supported by two Geneva campuses: the Frank-Thomas campus opened in 2025 for ages 3–6, and the Veyrier campus, featuring a farm and stables, plus flexible, technology-enabled classrooms, a library and a reading corner.
