The recent IB World Conference in The Hague took place in the shadow of incredible developments in artificial intelligence.

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!

The Swiss Parliament has adopted the principle of education without violence. Physical punishment and degrading treatment are punishable by law. Too many children still suffer physical and psychological abuse.

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

The start of a new school year is an exciting time for most students. New friends. New routines. New opportunities. But for some children, those first weeks make them feel unsettled and anxious, making an impact on their self-confidence.

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

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.

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.

Welcome back to school! 

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.

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

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.
