Copperfield follows the International Baccalaureate framework, with the Primary Years Programme in the younger years, Cambridge IGCSEs in the middle years and the IB Diploma Programme at sixteen to eighteen. A high staff-to-pupil ratio supports individualised academic guidance within small classes.
Boarders live in chalet accommodation with skiing integrated into the school week, reflecting its ski-in, ski-out alpine campus. The small community places clear emphasis on wellbeing and pastoral support.
The mountain setting underpins an outdoor programme centred on skiing and alpine pursuits, complemented by additional language tuition in French, German and Spanish.
Admission is by application directly to the school, with day and boarding places available.
