The Swiss education system has a longstanding reputation for quality. However, what may be less familiar to many are the changes that this system has undergone over the decades.

At Collège Champittet, one of our recent initiatives, the Literary Passport, is nurturing a community of enthusiastic readers in French, English and German.

The crunch of stepping on crisp leaves, the cool outdoor air… autumn is a magical season of change, and we’ve been making the most of it here at Collège Champittet!

For the autumn holiday break, our boarding students had the possibility to set off for two weeks of exploration in Singapore and Malaysia.

We know that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to learning, which is why our school brings a diverse range of learning experiences to our students.

Since the start of the 2025 academic year, we have chosen to offer our students a phone-free learning environment.

In September, we were delighted to welcome our alumni back to campus for an especially active reunion – our Alumni Sports Day!

We’ve launched a new tradition at Collège Champittet: our school House System!

On September 15th, we welcomed the parents of our students in preschool and Grades 1 and 2 for the official inauguration of The Village.

In September, Champittet students led two outstanding community events at our school – a local lake clean-up day, and a charitable chess tournament to support the Champittet Foundation’s humanitarian projects.

At Collège Champittet, we know that reading is important, which is why we’ve taken steps to instil a love of reading in our students.

Collège Champittet is the Swiss school open to the world – and part of that openness means taking our students beyond the classroom to experience new cultural treasures, new places and new ways of thinking

This summer, campers aged 11 to 17 came to Collège Champittet from around the world for our annual Summer Leadership Camp. 

To get into the back-to-school spirit, we held a series of special events for our teams, including a Team-Building Day and a Professional Development Day.

On Friday, August 22nd, our community celebrated our multicultural identity with our first International Day, organised by APEC, our Parent Association.

On August 16th, our Welcome Day gave our new day and boarding school students and their families a dedicated occasion to discover more about life at Champittet.

School may have been out for summer, but our facilities and operations teams were hard at work giving Collège Champittet a summer makeover – just in time for the return to class !

The Village is inspired by our play-based learning approach. This dynamic, engaging environment aims to nurture the developmental, social and emotional needs of children aged 3 to 6, providing a superb start to their education.

Summer is finally here, along with our eagerly awaited Champittet Leadership Camp! We have a phenomenal team of counsellors ready to bring our campers the summer of a lifetime – full of energy, adventure, humour and discovery.

At Collège Champittet, the end of the schoolyear is a time of reflection and celebration of our students’ achievements.
