A group of students from grades 11 to 14 —accompanied by Samy, one of our sports instructors, and two professional mountain guides— carried out a difficult and adventurous weekend expedition in the Swiss Alps.
In changing weather conditions, which forced them to modify the original itinerary, the whole group walked, climbed and skied in defiance of the 3,000+ meter altitude and exhaustion. The trek was the equivalent of the famous Swiss "Little Glacier Patrol" for 14- to 20-year-old, a ski-mountaineering race organized every two years by the Swiss Armed Forces.
This expedition exposed the young students to a new and physically demanding sport, combining technique and self-transcendence in an unspoilt setting.
By learning to plan their time wisely, students can be more productive, develop great study habits, and create a balanced lifestyle – one that fosters both personal and academic growth. Mastering this essential skill also sets them up for future success.
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” Here at Champittet, we know that inspiring children to dream big while envisioning their future is a core part of education. It’s also the focus of Dare All Trades Day, or JOM (Journée Oser tous les Métiers).
The Winter Ball is an eagerly awaited annual tradition here at Champittet, but this year brought a twist: the school’s first ever Masquerade Ball. With the theme “Black and Gold, don’t forget your mask!”, this year’s winter dance was organised by 14th-grade IB students, and the event was open to students in grades 9 and 10.
