The canton and nearby Vaud lists include 11 private schools teaching in French and English, plus 20 Montessori and early-years schools with bilingual or English groups. Most follow the Plan d’études romand used in public schools (school by school in our Geneva schools guide). A private school may take children into the first primary classes from age 3 by 31 December, earlier than the public school’s age of 4 by 31 July (LIP C 1 10, checked ).
Classes for children under 4 in private schools must run at least four half-days over four days a week. They need at least two adults for a class of at most 22 children, including a teacher and a socio-educational assistant (REPriv C 1 10.83, checked ).
Published bilingual-school tuition reaches CHF 34,000 a year, and Montessori schools price by weekly schedule, from CHF 1,150 to CHF 2,550 a month at those that publish monthly fees on their own fee pages. A non-French-speaking child who moves to a public primary school joins an ordinary class and spends half the time in a reception class (Canton of Geneva, checked ).
Newcomers announce their arrival to the cantonal population and migration office (OCPM), route de Chancy 88 in Onex (ge.ch OCPM, checked ). Most procedures run online through an e-démarches account on ge.ch, and the counters open by appointment only. The deadline after arrival is 14 days (2026) (ge.ch arrival, checked ), and a first B or L permit costs an EU/EFTA adult CHF 65 (Canton of Geneva, checked ). The steps are in registering at your commune.
