Tracing its origins to 1793, the school offers a bilingual Swiss Matura with subjects taught in German and English or German and Romansh, alongside IGCSE and the International Baccalaureate Diploma as an IB World School. Teaching follows federal and cantonal requirements with an emphasis on broad general education.
Set some 1,700 metres above the valley, the campus brings together a small, co-educational and multilingual community of local Engadine, Swiss and international pupils. Boarding life is shaped by the mountain environment and an emphasis on wellbeing.
The integrated HIF Sports Academy allows pupils to combine competitive summer and winter sport with their studies, supported by outdoor learning.
