Top Swiss Boarding Schools

Collège Beau Soleil, our most prestigious international boarding school in Switzerland, is a safe and welcoming environment that merits its place among the top boarding schools in the world. As a full boarding community, we emphasize the development of independence and the forging of lifelong connections amongst our students. Incredible opportunities both inside and outside the classroom challenge and encourage students, and our highly personalised approach to learning—assured by our student to teacher ratio of 4:1—inspires in them a commitment to succeed.

International, cultural, expedition and service trips along with our outstanding winter ski and rich outdoor education programme support students to embody our school values: respect, responsibility, ambition and determination.

Collège du Léman is an international day and boarding school dedicated to inspiring individual growth, academic excellence and global citizenship.

Our boarding students enjoy a structured, relaxed and friendly home in which they can mature into young adults, confident in themselves, with a developed sense of responsibility and a sound academic understanding to move on to universities. We believe that young people thrive on high expectations and plenty of justified praise.

Our many boarding staff are conscientious, committed, caring and approachable. Situated on the edge of lake Geneva, the school is only 20 minutes from the city and the airport.

Collège Champittet is the Swiss Boarding School open to the world. Combining over a 115 years of Swiss tradition with a dynamic, outward-looking ethos, our school offers a family-like boarding experience for up to 80 students from around the globe.

Beyond our three diploma programs (International Baccalaureate, Swiss Maturité and the French Baccalaureate), we also offer our students the opportunity to master both French and English thanks to our truly bilingual learning environment. Outside of the classroom, our strong philanthropic programs and after school activities, combined with global collaborations with MIT, Juilliard & UNICEF and also unique collaborations with local Swiss organisations (in leadership, business etiquette, and health & wellness) further develop and support each student in identifying their talents and their way to contribute meaningfully in the world.
