French School in Geneva

We welcome you to our brand NEW and modern learning centre in Geneva, located in Les Cygnes Shopping Center, next to Cornavin (the train station), to discover what 21st century learning looks like.

You can easily reach the school by car (you can park at the shopping center), by train, by all bus lines, by tram, by foot or even by bike. In addition it is very easy to access from Lancy, Carouge, Versoix, Nyon or Coppet.

Your Geneva school is a certified fide testing center

Any non-Swiss resident is required to have valid proof of language if they wish to apply for Swiss nationality or to renew their residence permit. The fide test is a certified and recognized proof of language issued by the Swiss State Secretariat for Migration (SEM). Depending on your permit status, you will need to certify a certain level (going from A1 to B1).

Reach the level you need to get your language passport and register for the fide test in our Geneva French school.

Fantastic School. While I understand the expense can be frightening, what it offers is worth it (if you dedicate yourself). Great consultants are there (I recommend Jesse, he will help you throughout your time with anything you need). Social activities make learning languages a relaxed environment, and the flexible schedule is very good for those working. Fully recommend it for those who want to take the language skills to the next level.

Great school with different method of teaching from the traditional educational system but if you are willing to put the effort you will get quicker results than with the traditional method, at least that is the case with me so far. Jesse was the consultant I had and he was super helpful and nice and makes sure to check up to see if the course is going well for you.

I've been studying in the Swiss French School for the last three months. After this time, and also after trying out two other French schools in the area, I can say that is by far the best place I tried for studying French, and where I've progressed faster. The key to this is that you get different opportunities to put in practice different aspects of the language inside the school, but you also get access to two platforms in which you will find very well curated theory/grammar and exercises. All in all, makes a trustable method that will make you feel the progress and gain confidence in your skills. On the other hand, the flexibility and personalized attention you get have no parallel in the area in my opinion. In my case, I have Lou Lesur as my advisor and she has always been very approachable, resolutive and reliable whenever I had a tricky situation due to my personal schedule. In general, though, you are always able to book the classes with the most convenient schedule for you with the help of the reception team (Ariam, Sofia, Nathi, Donia, Mariana), who are always very nice and help me find the best fit. I have only good things to say about the team at SFS so if you are already thinking to try it out, don't hesitate and just pass by :)

From the moment I joined the Swiss French School in Geneva, I have been continuously impressed by the quality of support and encouragement that everyone at the school provides. My coach, Ryan, is not only incredibly supportive and always encouraging but also exceptionally accommodating. He consistently goes above and beyond to meet my needs, understand my challenges, and negotiate solutions to ensure that I am never left out due to financial hurdles. He pays close attention to my learning progress, provides insightful guidance, and always makes time for meaningful, heart-to-heart conversations. The management team, especially Chris, the reception team, and the teachers, are truly remarkable. They are extremely supportive and go out of their way to accommodate students’ needs. They create an environment that is both uplifting and motivating. One of the most important things that stand out for me is how they have made me feel at home. Each visit is a warm and welcoming experience. For anyone looking to advance their French language competence in a supportive and enriching environment, I cannot recommend the Swiss French School enough. It is a community where everyone thrives together to succeed and help others succeed.
