Champittet teaches in a bilingual French-English model and offers three routes through to school-leaving: the Swiss Maturité, the International Baccalaureate Diploma and the French Baccalauréat. The breadth of pathways lets families align a child's studies with either a Swiss or an international onward trajectory. The school is part of the Nord Anglia network, with curriculum collaborations linked to Juilliard and MIT.
The community draws families from more than 50 countries, with boarding offered from age 11 and over 30 nationalities represented in the boarding house. Day and boarding pupils share the same campus life, giving the school an international yet locally rooted character.
More than 40 clubs span sport, the arts and entrepreneurship, alongside weekly skiing, water sports on the lake and international expeditions.
Admission begins with an online enquiry followed by a campus visit or discovery day before formal application.
