A word from
the Head of School
Welcome to the École Bilingue Internationale de Haute-Savoie!
Dear parents,
At EBIHS, students thrive in a stimulating, caring environment designed to foster their independence and teach them to adapt to new cultures and languages. Our students grow up in an international context, which enables them to develop qualities and skills that are vital for their future: curiosity, tolerance, critical thinking, empathy, a sense of sharing and collaboration, and open-mindedness.
Under contract with the French Ministry of Education for two of our primary classes, and recognized by the Fondation Pour l’Ecole for the quality of its teaching, our school has been offering excellent bilingual teaching since its creation. Language learning from an early age is at the heart of our educational project. In classes taught in English, the presence of qualified native teachers guarantees students a real immersion in the language and culture.
Our small class sizes enable us to offer a student-centered teaching approach, involving students who are committed to their learning.
Our rigorous program, taught in French and English, effectively prepares students for the challenges of high school and university, whether at a school in France, or abroad. By combining the best of the French education system with practices of Anglo-Saxon school systems such as the Cambridge program, EBIHS gives your children the foundation they need to succeed in a French lycée, or international program.
EBIHS is also a school open to parents. The school year is punctuated by events that bring the community together: shows, meetings with teachers, festivals and traditions.
Choosing a school is particularly important to give your child the best possible preparation for his or her future; we are available to talk to you about our program, and advise you.
