There are some days when our school community truly shines, and the annual Fête de l’Escalade is always one of them. It's a joyful, hands-on way for us to connect with the traditions of Geneva, the vibrant city that is home to SISOG.

This year, the celebration perfectly showcased our core values of Community and Empathy. Every student and staff member played a part, creating a tapestry of shared learning from our youngest classes, all the way up to our Upper Primary students (5P-8P).

At SISOG, we believe that our school is a social and cultural meeting place. This morning, that belief came to life in the most beautiful way as our entire community gathered in the darkness of the early morning to celebrate the Swedish tradition of Santa Lucia.

Feeling safe, seen, and respected in the classroom at school is essential for learning. At SISOG, this is at the heart of how we create a calm and focused learning environment. With clear structure, engaged teachers, and a shared approach to teaching, we build spaces where every student has the opportunity to grow and succeed.

Choosing a school is a significant decision. At SISOG, we strive to make this choice meaningful, reassuring, and inspiring for every family.

Our integrated structure allows children to remain in the same school unit from their earliest preschool years through Upper Primary. This continuity provides a vital sense of security: familiar faces, predictable routines, and an environment that grows with your child.

At a recent open house presenting our Primary School programme for new and current families, we collected feedback from our community. The findings provided a resounding endorsement of our core values.

This year’s farm stay in Switzerland and nature trip to France gave our students unforgettable hands-on experiences, from milking cows and making butter to exploring ecosystems and building teamwork.

As part of the Middle Primary years at SISOG, the students (3-4P) dive into the charming Swedish book series, "My Happy Life," exploring its pages in the three languages of our school: Swedish, French, and English!

We believe it is important to celebrate the very foundation upon which our students flourish: their families.

At SISOG, we understand that a healthy body supports a healthy mind. That's why we've woven physical activity into the very fabric of our curriculum and extended it beyond the school day. From the youngest learners to our upper primary students, we strive to cultivate a lifelong love of movement and sports.

Following the Swedish curriculum, SISOG embraces “pedagogical meals,” making mealtime a rich, interactive learning experience, promoting not only healthy eating habits but also social, linguistic, and environmental awareness.

Each year at SISOG the entire community from Preschool to Primary comes together to create and perform an original theatrical production. During this special year, the school's 50th, the show centered around a re-imagining of the beloved Swedish classic “The Adventures of Nils Holgersson.”

In 1974, The Swedish School of Geneva was founded as a small non-profit school exclusively serving Swedish children. Now, 50 years later, The Swedish International School of Geneva remains a non-profit, but serves beyond the Swedish community, welcoming international families with more than 50 nationalities.
