Absences

Please, inform your child’s teacher if your child is absent, or send a text message to 078 883 93 76, OR 24h in advance, email us at maude@languagesandmore.com. This is imperative, particularly for very young learners whom we collect at the local schools.

Vacation and other holidays

Classes begin on the first Monday after the Geneva holiday “Jeûne genevois in September, and follow the same schedule as Geneva public school vacation, with three usual exceptions:

• We start our winter break one week before the official Geneva public school Christmas holidays begin in December.
• No classes take place on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday before Easter Break.

Finally, we usually stop 1-2 weeks before the official end of public school in Geneva. Many students are absent because of the end of year activities or early summer departures.

Please check the yearly calendar sent to enrolled families.

Insurance

It is under the responsibility of each family to cover their child/children against accidents, as required by Swiss law.
