Au sein de Collège Champittet, the educational philosophy is built upon the foundational understanding that there is no universal approach to learning. This commitment to personalized education is brought to life through a rich tapestry of diverse learning experiences designed to engage students in multifaceted ways. A prime example of this innovative approach was demonstrated in October 2025, when primary students from Grades 2 to 6 participated in a dynamic learning session with educational partner Learn-O. This initiative transformed traditional subjects like geometry, mathematics, and French into an active, hands-on adventure. Students moved throughout the room, locating cones that corresponded with their activity cards, thereby stimulating their concentration, la créativité, and memory in an enjoyable and physically engaging manner. This method exemplifies the school's dedication to moving beyond passive learning, ensuring that academic concepts are not only understood but experienced. The partnership with Learn-O is a single thread in the broader fabric of the school's strategy to enhance academic achievement and student engagement. This philosophy is deeply embedded in the early years of a child's education. The recent inauguration of 'The Village,' a dedicated Early Years Centre, provides a purpose-built environment that champions a play-based learning approach. With its stimulating indoor and outdoor play areas, The Village is meticulously designed to foster exploration and creativity in the school's youngest learners, establishing a lifelong love for discovery from the very start.
The commitment to diverse educational experiences extends far beyond the campus grounds and into a global arena. As an integral part of the Nord Anglia Education family, Collège Champittet offers its students unparalleled access to collaborations with world-leading institutions. These partnerships provide exceptional, curriculum-enhancing opportunities that cultivate a global mindset. Students benefit from a specialized performing arts programme developed with The Juilliard School, a cutting-edge STEAM curriculum informed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and meaningful service and environmental projects in collaboration with UNICEF. Furthermore, a comprehensive sport and wellbeing programme is delivered in partnership with the renowned IMG Academy, ensuring a holistic approach to student development. This global perspective is further enriched by a vast array of extracurricular activities. Students can choose from numerous clubs, including the intellectually stimulating Model United Nations and the altruistic Philanthropic Club, or opt for private music lessons to hone their artistic talents. For those seeking to make a tangible impact, the Collège Champittet Foundation offers a platform for students to actively contribute their time and energy to developing humanitarian projects across the globe. Complementing these initiatives is the school's unique Forest School programme, which dedicates several hours each week to outdoor learning. Whether students are identifying local flora and fauna or crafting creative writing pieces inspired by their natural surroundings, these activities make the learning process fresh and exciting, connecting academic growth with the natural world.
