Overview
Ecolint, the world’s first international school, was founded after WWI in 1924 by visionaries with a bold mission: to create a school dedicated to peace. Our unwavering commitment to this vision celebrates the equal value of every human being and fosters friendships among young scholars from over 143 different nationalities. At Ecolint, we strive to uncover and nurture the unique gifts in every child, helping them transform these gifts into talents. Our alumni, extraordinary individuals who have made significant impacts globally, are a testament to the life-changing experience offered at Ecolint.
Ecolint is the birthplace of the Model United Nations system, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, and most recently, in collaboration with UNESCO, the Ecolint Learner Passport. This innovative passport celebrates the comprehensive learning experience of students, recognizing competencies across lifelong learning, self-agency, collaboration, and transdisciplinarity.
With exceptional academic results and a dedicated, highly qualified faculty, we are committed to each student’s learning journey, ensuring they thrive in a world that increasingly values inclusion, sustainability, and peace.
