Press release February 2026: Geneva English School joins Inspired Education Group’s global premium group of schools.
Inspired Education Group, the leading global group of premium schools which delivers an outstanding holistic education to students around the world, welcomes the Geneva English School to its Group. GES, founded in 1961, is renowned for its academic rigour and outstanding performance. It is Inspired’s third school in Switzerland as the Group continues to grow its community and serve market demand.
Douglas Crawford, former Chairman of Geneva English School, said, "Both Inspired and GES are dedicated to providing students with the finest educational experience, fostering a love of learning and helping each to develop the skills they need to make meaningful contributions to their community.”
Both Inspired’s and GES’ philosophies focus on the individuality of each student, with the aim to unlock their full potential by providing each with a holistic education, in a specialist environment to enable them to flourish. GES’ values are perfectly aligned with Inspired’s forward-thinking educational ethos, constantly encouraging children to be truly resilient independent learners.
GES’s academic record is outstanding and comparable to the best independent schools in the UK and globally. In 2025, GES students achieved a 98% pass rate at GCSE, with 30% of grades at the highest level (Grade 9) and two-thirds at Grade 7 or above. At A-Level, the school reported a 99% pass rate, with over half of all grades at A* or A and 26% of students earning straight A*-A results. These outcomes place GES significantly above UK averages, reflecting its academic excellence across both key stages.
At GES, every child is important and each individual is encouraged, valued and supported to rise to the challenges the school offers. GES empowers young people to unlock their fullest potential to thrive academically and socially; students are curious, moral and courageous, building on their opportunities to lead lives of purpose and contribute positively to the world. The school's stunning locations in Genthod and Versoix are home to state-of-the-art facilities that ensure students benefit from a holistic education, with opportunities to participate in theatre, music, art and sports.
