Middle School
Flourishing through excellence .
Welcome to a positive transition space. At Montessori Middle School, we transform the pivotal teenage years into an intellectual and human adventure. Our mission is simple: to prepare global citizens, academically brilliant and humanly accomplished.
AMI
Association Montessori Internationale
OUR CERTIFICATION
The global benchmark
rare in French-speaking Switzerland.
AMI was founded by Maria Montessori herself. Only schools that respect the entirety of the pedagogy — teacher training, materials, environment, cycle duration — obtain recognition. We are fully committed to it.
THE CLASS
A project-based and expertise-based pedagogy .
Because the real world doesn't stop at the classroom walls, we integrate project-based learning as a driving force for learning.
For each major theme in the curriculum, we call upon professional specialists (engineers, artists, entrepreneurs, scientists).
They contribute to convey a concrete, current and passionate vision of their field, creating a direct bridge between academic theory and professional reality.
Language learning and cultural awareness take on a unique dimension thanks to our exclusive partnership with the Montessori College of Bali.

NATIVE BILINGUALISM
French • English
Not 'English lessons' — real immersion. Each environment has at least one native French-speaking and one native English-speaking educator, present all day. Children switch naturally.
