We are passionate about education and seeing young people grow and develop, and we want the same for our colleagues.

Nestled in Switzerland amongst vineyards and fruit orchards, between Lac Léman and the Jura mountains, we are also within very easy commuting distance from Geneva and Lausanne. It is a truly great environment to live and work.

We offer our students unparalleled international learning experiences, including those inspired by our collaborations with Juilliard, MIT and UNICEF. Our customized curriculum offers our students the opportunity to follow an English, French or bilingual pathway leading to the internationally renowned International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP), as well as discovering new skills, abilities and interest.
