Institut Florimont
The Institut Florimont is a school in Geneva. It was founded in 1905 by the Congrégation des Missionnaires de Saint François de Sales, soon after a law in France prohibited religious congregations of any persuasion. The Institut Florimont started out as a private catholic French-speaking boarding school for boys; it is now co-ed and open to external day-students.
The school has been directed by a lay person since 1995, and has accepted girls at the secondary II level since 1978. In 1995, the entire school became co-ed and the pre-school classes were opened.
Accreditation
Florimont's (upper) secondary education (Middle and High School) is not approved as a Mittelschule/Collège/Liceo by the Swiss Federal State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI).[1]
Curriculum
The school offers a complete curriculum, from pre-school (starting at 3 years) to the Swiss matura exams[citation needed] or the French baccalaureat. An Anglophone section prepares students for the British "O level" exams. Since 2014, an International section has been preparing students for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP).
Principal
The current principal is Sean Power.
