Institut International de Lancy (IIL) is a private international school located in Lancy, Geneva. It has Bilingual, French, and English programmes for students from 3 to 19 years old.
History
Collège Marie-Thérèse was founded in 1903 soon after a law in France prohibited religious congregations of any persuasion.[1] In its early years the Collège was attended by approximately sixty girls, mainly boarders, from across Europe. The 1950s and 1960s were a period of expansion for the school resulting in several major changes: co-education was introduced throughout the school, and the curriculum was modified in order to provide pupils with a more personal curriculum at the higher secondary level. In April 2001, the name of the school was changed to Institut International de Lancy. An English-language primary section was created the same year; an English-language secondary section followed in 2005. The school opened a bilingual section in 2007. Since the start of 2020–2021 school year, IIL has put in place the Kiva and anti-bullying programme for all students and staff. IIL is the first school in Switzerland to join the programme.
Curriculum
The school uses a curriculum of core and foundation subjects within a structure that follows the English National Curriculum («Cambridge International Examinations»)[2] and the Baccalauréat en France.[3] The school also provides the IB (International Baccalaureate) since 2009[4] and the preparation to the Examen de Maturité Suisse.
