Happy, creative, independent.
Welcome to SISOG
The Swedish approach to international education in Geneva, offering instruction in English, Swedish, & French for children ages 1–12
We put students first.
In our supportive and inclusive environment, we:
Spark curiosity and nurture creativity.
Encourage collaboration and critical thinking.
Empower students to take ownership of their learning journey.
We're building global citizens and lifelong learners.
Grounded in democratic values, our approach prepares students to be independent and socially conscious. We achieve this by:
Fostering open dialogue and celebrating diverse perspectives.
Balancing academic success with emotional and social well-being.
Inspiring a lifelong love for learning that extends beyond the classroom.
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 activity is linked, fostering your child's growth and development through these magical connections.
Contact us for a personal tour.
We welcome families throughout the year, offering tailored in-person or virtual tours on a day that suits you, including school holidays.
