Collège du Léman

Our internal fleet of more than 30 buses pick up many of our students every day, as close to their homes as possible. These buses are equipped with wifi, and our GPS tracking enables us to monitor our routes so that we can get the children to school as quickly as possible.

Students from Pre-School to end of Primary are required to wear a uniform. Middle and High School students are not.

At Collège du Léman, we believe there is no substitute for great teaching. We use technology to enhance our inspirational lessons, not to replace them. From an early age, students have access to tablets in class and learn how to use it safely. As they get older, they receive their own devices, which they can use to take notes, research subjects, and carry out assignments.

All Collège du Léman students can benefit from our expertise as we use a wide range of teaching techniques.

Learning Support specialized SEN (Special Educational Needs) teachers offer classes in Numeracy, Literacy and Study Skills for both Middle School and High School from Grade 6 to 12.

As well as the diverse curriculum, CDL offers a Gifted and Talented initiative for students who excel in the classroom. Those students are invited to take part in an optional programme of tuition and guest speakers, who can unlock new wonders in certain curriculum subjects. Students with an aptitude for learning can discover fresh inspiration from studying it at a higher level. At Collège du Léman, we want every child to feel stimulated and inspired by learning.
