School History & Details

In 1934, renowned German educator Paul Geheeb, known for his progressive educational approach, founded Ecole d'Humanité. Initially established in Versoix, Switzerland, the school relocated to its current Hasliberg campus in 1946. This move served as a continuation of Geheeb's earlier school, Odenwaldschule in Germany, which faced closure due to the rise of the Nazi regime. Throughout its history, Ecole d'Humanité has stayed true to Geheeb's philosophy, emphasizing community living, self-government, and experiential learning. The school proudly celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2014, solidifying its legacy as a unique and innovative educational institution.
