Institut International de Lancy (IIL) Geneva
Reviews & Information

It is sickening how bad the behaviour system is at this Lancy Institution. My son and daughter both accused multiple times of doing things I KNOW they did not do. They eventually got asked to somehow "find another school". My daughter in the French section and son in the English section but this somehow sums it up. Lancy is an Institute that has zero respect for anyone who may differ and their behaviour system is very messed up. Please don't come to this school and I advise anyone with a child not to. Thanks very much for the inconvenience, Lancy. Adios.

The school's English section has a terrible way of managing virtually everything and you SHOULD not put your child here unless you are a completely careless parent. My son was recently not allowed to enter higher level math despite his grades because the school was trying to maintain " diversity in the classroom amongst all genders ". Then my son was put into trouble and had a strike on his behavior record because someone ELSE had said that one of the teachers was a greedy B word, the person was then found guilty but they STILL asked them if they were covering for my son's actions. I am now taking action to get my son out of there ASAP. Please consider carefully if you think this is the right school for any child and you should probably NOT think it is. About 5 times already I had to petition for my son to get the right grade on his test as my husband is a teacher elsewhere and he knows biased grades when he sees them.

As I saw in another review, the behaviour system is terrible. My son recently got 5 strikes on the behaviour record first for an incident regarding this assembly class. Next was because of trousers. The next was because of his hoodie and eventually he left class 1 minute early. He got suspended for this nonsense. The English section is extremely biased and I advise against any regular parent putting a young child in a school like this. The staff are terrible and biased against anyone who could threaten their reputation and gender + racial diversity and so is there behaviour system. Sick school that has a bad business strategy where reputation comes above quality.

The behaviour system is terrible and depending if they like you they won't cater any attention to for improving your behaviour as the director and head of secondary english are both incredibly biased and the way they treat you varies if they like you. For how much this school costs this is totally unacceptable. I never had any major behaviour incidents it was persistent issues such as homework, lateness, classroom work and getting my phone out in class and yet I was expelled from the school although I was not on my medication for my adhd and prior to this I was giving a 2 week warning that if my behaviour didn't improve I would be expelled and then I started getting in trouble for things that from what I heard was acceptable such and hoodie i wore and a pair of cargos I wore which was a clear indicator that they wanted me out in the first place. There was also an incident where 20chf went missing from a students wallet and I was a the first suspect and when the student who took it admitted to it they asked him twice if he was covering for me. There was also a incident where my form tutor told me too not talk so "gang" in regards to my accent this was prior to something I said. I would not recommended this school to someone who plans on sending there child there.

My son attended IIL for 3years. I was utterly disappointed by the lack of management and professionalism in English secondary. School profitability is their sole concern, none of my son's social or emotional skills were being developed, hardly academic’s skills on a very restricted area. After struggling for almost 2 years to improve my son's overall grades, I decided to take him out and put him in a semi-private English school but my son didn't even manage to pass the entry exam, and IIL would have just continued to cash in and not address my son's individual needs. He is now back in the French public system. I am not saying it's better but at least I am not being robbed from so much money with no good academic results. I challenged the management style behind their nice talks, but they don't care about your children's individual needs, instead it's all about the money they get and their reputation. The worse school for a private, international school.
