The International School of Geneva (in French: Ecole Internationale de Genève), also known as Ecolint, is a private international school based in Geneva, Switzerland. It is the oldest and largest operating international school in the world. The International Baccalaureate (IB) programme, which most anglophone and many francophone students at the school follow, was created at La Grande Boissière campus. Ecolint is a bilingual school, with instruction in languages such as French, English, Spanish, Chinese or German. Ecolint's current Director General is Mrs Vicky Tuck. The International School is a testing center for the US college boards (SAT, ACT, etc.) and the British IGCSE. The International School is composed of three separately governed campuses in and around Geneva.
In 2006, the British Guardian newspaper listed it as one of the best UK-curriculum international schools in the world. The school is also a member of the G20 Schools Group. According to the Good Schools Guide International, at the International School of Geneva "Students receive a truly international education and as a result leave as rounded and worldly young people."
As of 2011[update] it is the largest international school in the Geneva area.
From 1920 to 1921 the League of Nations and the International Labor Office established their headquarters in Geneva. In 1924 the International School of Geneva was founded by senior members of two international organizations, in conjunction with Adolphe Ferrière and Elisabeth Rotten.
