A New Beginning

Starting from age 2+, children can now begin their educational journey at SISOG through our new Pre-Primary Programme.

Aligned School Calendar
Our five-day school week follows the same calendar as the Primary School, making family planning simpler and more convenient.
Optional All-Round Care
Extended care and holiday support are available through our All-Round Care Programme, providing a safe and engaging environment beyond the school day.
Inspired by the Swedish Approach to Early Childhood Education
Our programme is rooted in the Swedish philosophy of early childhood education, where curiosity, wellbeing and independence are valued as highly as academic development.
Through learning through play, exploration and meaningful relationships, children develop confidence, creativity and a lifelong love of learning.
“Our goal is to provide a language-rich environment where children develop intellectually, practically and creatively. This programme ensures that SISOG's core values of curiosity, responsibility and respect are nurtured from the very beginning.”
— Lotta Bartosch
Principal & General Director
Our Pre-Primary Programme is regulated by Geneva's Department of Public Instruction (DIP), providing families with confidence that children are learning within an officially recognised educational framework.

The Red Thread:
Connecting It All
At SISOG, we embrace the "Swedish Red Thread." This concept, known in Sweden as the "röd tråd" (red thread), symbolizes the guiding line or common theme that runs through a story, project, or even our lives. Much like the plot of a good story, this red thread helps us explain how everything is connected.
Inspired by ancient Greek mythology, this idea guides everyone at SISOG in creating a enchanting theme through all our activities. From drawing and cooking in preschool to math and art in primary, every lesson is linked, fostering your child's growth and development through these magical connections.
