Boarding Schools – Switzerland

Switzerland

Private boarding schools in Switzerland offer a world class international education in a multicultural environment.

Swiss boarding schools have educated and continue to educate the international elite.  Students leave with a well-rounded education that gives them access to the most prestigious universities round the world. The success of the Swiss system partly lies in the small number of students per class.  Most classes have only 6 to a maximum of 15 students and each student receives an education tailored to their needs and expectations. Swiss schools offer a wide range of educational systems including the International Baccalaureate, French Baccalaureate, Swiss Maturite and the American and British Systems. Most schools offer a bilingual education in English and French.

 

The facilities at the schools we recommend and very impressive.  This allows students to follow all their passions and interests whether in the classroom or as an extracurricular activity.  The extensive curriculum, the range of sports – including skiing during the winter, the arts and culture on offer is inspiring. Some schools, Le Rosey for example, have two sites, a summer school by the lake and a winter chalet in Gstaad for the ski season.
