La nouvelle ecole is looking for a qualified english-speaking assistant

We are a private school located in the heart of the old town of Geneva.

Our values:

• Respect for the child as a competent individual – We encourage children's autonomy in all aspects of their education and adapt our teaching to their development and interests.
• The environment as the third educator – We place great importance on a carefully prepared space that allows children to explore freely, while benefiting from supportive guidance that fosters their socio-emotional development. Play occupies a central place in our approach.
• Connection with nature and the community – Outdoor outings, exploration of the neighborhood, and regular events with families enrich our program.
