Spear’s Review

La Garenne is a co-educational, fully accredited International Baccalaureate World School that offers an outstanding education to pupils. Although the curriculum is taught in English, La Garenne takes a bilingual approach to educating its community, who are all fluent French speakers. One of the aims of the schools is to teach its graduates to thrive in an international setting.

Pupils develop a lifelong passion for learning and thrive in the warm family atmosphere. Located in the shadow of Mont Blanc, the new senior school has opened its doors in a beautiful building right next door to the ski lifts. 

Head teacher

Danielle Allard, head of the primary school, taught in England before arriving at La Garenne in 2008. She has since been in charge of developing and implementing the primary curriculum and assessment structure, including introducing Cambridge English qualifications. 

Adam Jozef, head of the secondary school, has taught in the Middle East, the UK and Germany, including more than 10 years as an IB diploma programme coordinator. In addition to his role as head, he teaches history, politics and theory of knowledge at La Garenne.
