The International School of Geneva - Ecolint
Established in 1924, The International School of Geneva was the first International school in the world, formed as a foundation by the League of Nations, the International Labor Office (ILO) and local educators.
Ecolint continues to have representatives of both the local government and The United Nations of the Federal Council - the school board. A team of teachers at Ecolint created the International Baccalaureate in 1968. Today the school has 4,410 students from 139 countries across three campuses.
