Chantemerle offers a Swiss pathway taught principally in French leading to the Swiss Matura, alongside a Cambridge International route with IGCSE and A-Level examinations and an English-immersion option. French and English immersion programmes support international pupils, and the school references French Baccalauréat and IB provision among its pathways. Both day and boarding study are available across the secondary years.
With around 45 boarders and 55 day pupils across two campuses near Vevey and Montreux, the school is small and personal in scale. Its setting overlooking Lake Léman frames a community-minded daily life that mixes Swiss and international families.
Sport, the arts and outdoor and hands-on activities are built into the daily structure, taking advantage of the lakeside and Alpine surroundings.
Admission is by application, with online registration and a published fee schedule available through the school.
