OUR SCHOOL
The Ecole d’Humanité was founded in 1934 and is a small, progressive, holistic international boarding school. We are a supportive and engaged community of lifelong learners committed to the values of cooperation, internationalism, and closeness to nature. We develop creative strengths, the readiness for engagement in society, and the assumption of responsibility. We are a not-for-profit organization.
AN EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY BASED ON INDIVIDUAL LEARNING NEEDS
Paul Geeheb, 1946, Founder of Ecole d’Humanité
“But the whole educational path of a person in his or her entirety is an individual matter; thus it is a grave injustice to establish the same school program even for just two different children. What is important is to let every child find and progress on his or her own individual educational path.”
THE ECOLE VISION
Using the principles of Progressive Education, we set our students on the path of lifelong learning. We are convinced that young people do best when they are invested in and engaged with their learning. We believe that students are motivated by the intrinsic reward of discovery. We understand that each individual follows their own growth trajectory. We are committed to guiding learners on the path towards becoming who they are.
SUPPORTING A LIFETIME OF LEARNING
The Ecole is reimagining what education can be. Our Leadership team and Board of Directors support and guide our community on the journey of lifelong learning.
