Academic & learning environment

Founded in 1908, the school prepares pupils for the Swiss Matura, the French Baccalauréat and the International Baccalaureate Diploma, with a Pre-IB year available. Class sizes are kept small to allow close individual monitoring.

Student experience

Pupils study on a compact central-Lausanne campus, with boarding available for girls and boys from age fifteen and supervised by in-house teaching staff. Boarders come from a wide range of countries, giving the school a markedly international character.

Extra-curricular activities

Sport, cultural activities and excursions complement academic life, alongside an international summer programme.

Admissions

Admission follows an application dossier and an interview or assessment to gauge fit between pupil and school.

Our perspective

Worth considering for families wanting a choice of curricula and city boarding within an established Lausanne institution.

Selecting the right school depends on a careful understanding of the student’s profile and long-term objectives — our advisory work focuses on aligning these elements.
