St. George’s School: Montreux, Switzerland

St. George's Senior School is a Swiss boarding school. Composed of Years 7 – 13 (US grades 6 – 12) catering for students aged 11 – 18. The main school building houses all senior school classrooms, science laboratories, assembly hall, library and specialist rooms for art, music and information technology. Students benefit from small classes. The excellent work done by our highly qualified staff in these small classes is complemented by a well-stocked library, science laboratories, music rooms, art rooms and a fully equipped computer centre. St. George’s School has always encouraged the study of French whilst maintaining the traditions of an international school with a curriculum taught mostly in English. Over time, two separate but parallel French teaching sections have evolved: the French as a Foreign Language (FFL) section for students whose aim is to become independent French speakers in their everyday lives, and a French as a Second Language (FLS) section for those who, French native speakers or not, master the language to an extent which enables them to go beyond the language used in everyday communication.
