Institut Florimont
School in Geneva, Switzerland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Institut Florimont is a private school in Geneva, Switzerland. It was founded in 1905 by the Congrégation des Missionnaires de Saint François de Sales, soon after a law in France prohibited religious congregations of any persuasion. The Institut Florimont started out as a private catholic French-speaking boarding school for boys.
