United Nations in Action
After spending the fall term studying International Relations, Radhika Garland's students traveled to Geneva to see the United Nations in action.
For over a century these words have expressed the essential challenge that our school invites its students to take on. And because each student is different, this challenge assumes a new form for every one of them.
A belief in the utter uniqueness of each student forms the core of the Ecole’s philosophy of education. We trust in and respect our students in all their diversity, and we listen to and value their voices. We foster a culture of individuation and negotiation, a dynamic middle way between conformity and rebellion. Ecole students co-construct their school experience, reflect on their successes and struggles, and find their own particular niches in a cohesive and lively community. Here they are able to grow and express their uniqueness, knowing all the while that they are a necessary and valued part of the whole. In such an environment they develop confidence in their strengths and aptitudes, a realistic appraisal of their weaknesses and stumbling blocks, and an intrinsic sense of responsibility and compassion. When creative risk is encouraged, education becomes an adventure.

We are happy to publish two personal impressions from different hike groups: Tasha Wright and Tünde Cassai share their texts about the 4-day-hike from this autumn. Have fun reading!
Thanks to careful planning and good luck, eleven hiking groups were on their way in the best weather conditions and collected countless unforgettable impressions. Our Gallery and a short hike photos video provide some first impressions. Texts of students are to be published soon.
