New reception, conference & science facilities

The holidays are the perfect time for children to follow their passions and explore new experiences. At Collège Champittet, our Holiday Club camps give children the opportunity to do just that, no matter what your child loves to do best.

Before welcoming our students back to Collège Champittet, our teachers and staff gathered for several days of learning, collaboration and connection, paving the way for a successful academic year ahead.

As I begin my 12th school year at Champittet, it is always a joy to be reunited with our pupils and our colleagues. The theme for the 2026–2027 academic year will be ‘languages & cultures’, a key strength of the Champittet community.

Starting a new school year is exciting, but this period also brings many changes for students and parents. At Collège Champittet, we do everything possible to help our learners feel at ease from the very beginning.

From June to July, our Champittet Summer Leadership Camp brought together young people from across the world for an enriching journey of adventure, exploration and self-discovery.

Starting a new school is one of the biggest shifts in a child's life. A new building, new faces, a new routine, possibly a new language. Most children find their feet faster than parents expect, but the weeks around the transition still need careful handling. Whether your child is joining a new school at the start of the year or mid-term, here is how you can help them begin with confidence.

Preparing a boarding student for the new term? Our guide covers packing, pastoral care, routines and the emotional side of going back to boarding school.

The new school year arrives faster than anyone expects. One moment you are enjoying the final days of summer by the lake, the next you are hunting for a missing shoe ten minutes before the school run. A little preparation now means August runs far more smoothly, for you and for your child. Whether your child is starting at a new school for the first time or simply moving up a year, here are the steps to get ready before term begins.
