As the world’s first, largest and most famous international school, Ecolint has been at the forefront of international education for 100 years. This magnificent, illustrated book, written alternately in English and French and produced to celebrate Ecolint’s centenary, gives an overview of the school’s inspired but fragile birth in 1924 and spectacular development: telling the story of the brilliant, colourful, sometimes eccentric visionaries who shaped the school, involving (amongst others) distinguished academics, philanthropists and human rights activists, a famous 20th Century philosopher (who became the University of Geneva’s first female professor after teaching in Ecolint for decades), a celebrated psychoanalyst, an avant-garde novelist and – in a cameo role – even Albert Einstein.
