Institut International de Lancy

In 2011, IIL became the first Swiss school to introduce a one-to-one iPad programme. Since then, we strive to be at the forefront of innovative and appropriate digital learning technologies integrated into every class. Using the latest digital learning tools and software, we encourage both teachers and students to participate in the development and improvement of education as a whole. Technology is integrated into the learning at IIL including digital art classes and specific coding lessons.

Given our integrated digital learning approach, IIL was prepared to face the Covid-19 crisis and extend learning in the homes of our students. Using a variety of digital resources and intensive staff training, each section of IIL was able to adapt to extending Distance Learning at home. The most important lesson we can underline from this period has been the critical importance of collaboration, communication and adaptability of the entire IIL community highlighting staff, students and parents.

Admission to the Institut International de Lancy is based on specific criteria relating to the academic path of the child, however, our mission aims to welcome and accompany students on their educational journey. Educational equity for all our students is among our priorities. The inclusion of a child with special educational needs is based on a joint decision made between the parents, the school and, if applicable, health professionals. Hence, the responsibility for carrying out any such project successfully is shared. In the best interest of the child, the school, parents and professionals must form a partnership and collaborate closely. This partnership will be established through mutual trust and the acknowledgement of each other's expertise.

Differentiation, extra work or the establishment of Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) are some of the measures taken to support gifted students. Other than this, IIL is now an AFEC (Athlete Friendly Education Centre) accredited school by the World Academy of Sport. Our students have the opportunity to access the World Sports Academy's educational resources and its network of Olympians. In addition, our elite athletes now have the opportunity to study for their International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma in three years instead of two, giving them greater flexibility in their timetable.
