Institut International Notre-Dame du Lac

Nestled in a picturesque setting on the shores of Lake Geneva in Cologny, the International Institute Notre-Dame du Lac is a private school of excellence welcoming students aged 3 to 11. Founded in 1946, our Catholic institution is deeply rooted in values of respect and kindness.
Our mission is to shape the citizens of tomorrow through an educational approach that combines tradition and innovation. We offer a bilingual program (French-English) starting at the age of 3, with the introduction of German from age 8, providing a true linguistic and cultural foundation. With personalized teaching and small class sizes, we are dedicated to fostering curiosity, creativity, and academic excellence in every student.
Notre-Dame du Lac stands out for its inspiring environment, innovative educational projects, and commitment to a sustainable future. For nearly 80 years, we have guided our students through an educational journey that places personal growth and human values at the heart of learning.
