Institut Florimont

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Institut Florimont 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 is 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.

[edit] Curriculum

The school offers a complete curriculum, from pre-school (starting at 3 years) to the Swiss matura exams or the French baccalaureat. An Anglophone section prepares students for the British "O level" exams.
