Secondary School Geneva
An ideal environment for learning and developing every day
Located in the heart of Geneva, Collège La Découverte offers its students modern, high‑quality facilities. Our students benefit from an environment conducive to their well‑being and personal growth, helping them feel at ease and fully succeed in their studies.
- The learning space
for the 2025 school year
Collège La Découverte will open its doors in August 2025 in a privileged setting, in the heart of the international organizations district: Chemin Camille‑Vidart 17, 1202 Geneva. Easily accessible, it is just minutes from public transport (tram 15, buses 5 and 22).
Spread over two floors, the site has been designed to support different pedagogical approaches. It includes modern, functional classrooms, as well as a partially covered courtyard that allows students to enjoy an outdoor space throughout the year. Its proximity to Stade de Varembé and Vermont Park offers a green environment that is conducive to growth.
These premises mark a key step in the College’s development. From 2025 they will provide a stimulating, welcoming setting ahead of our move to Green Village in 2028, a modern campus designed to encourage active learning and personal development.
