Benedict International Education Group (Bénédict) is a Swiss group with 80 schools worldwide.

History

Benedict International Education Group was formed in 1928 by Dr. Gaston Bénédict, a linguist and previous Professor at the University of Southern California. Professor Gaston Bénédict established his first school in Lausanne, Switzerland. The founder, Simon Bénédict (1873–1933), a French-Alsacian, opened, at the end of the nineteenth century, a first school in Egypt, followed later by a series of others in Switzerland. His son, Gaston (1900–1953), took over in 1928 and launched the Bénédict school movement in Lausanne. Giving business and language tuition to students of all ages, more than 40 establishments were in operation before the Second World War.
