Academic excellence

By personalising your child's education through an expert blend of challenge, support and opportunity, we'll help them to achieve outstanding results. This creates a pathway to top universities — both in Switzerland and around the world.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

With the IB Diploma, our students leave LCIS with a globally recognised qualification that equips them to apply to top Swiss and international universities. Through tailored support, we ensure that our students reach outstanding academic standards, regardless of their starting point. Our wide range of IBDP subjects allows students to focus on their strengths and pursue their interests, while ensuring academic rigour and excellent future opportunities. In 2021–22, with a 100% pass rate and a highest point score of 41, our IBDP students scored an average of 35 points, far exceeding the global average of 31.9 points. 32% of students 38 points or more. In addition, 18% of our students obtained a bilingual diploma, giving them a significant advantage when choosing universities and entering employment. Recent graduates attend highly-rated universities like Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US, McGill University and the University of Toronto in Canada, Bristol University, Edinburgh University and King's College London in the UK, University of Leiden in the Netherlands and École Hôtelière de Lausanne here in Switzerland.

Inspiring and dedicated teachers

When your child joins LCIS, they become part of a close-knit international community. Here, students, their parents and our teachers work together to make our school the best place to learn, flourish and excel.

INSPIRING AND DEDICATED TEACHERS

As a member of Nord Anglia Education, the world's leading premium schools' organisation, we only recruit the best internationally and locally trained teachers. We’ll ensure your child’s teachers get to know them so we can support them through their learning journey to achieve their absolute best.

Our teachers are always learning. With exceptional professional development opportunities available through the award-winning Nord Anglia University, our staff stay ahead of the latest teaching methods and learning strategies, so your child can benefit from passionate, dedicated teachers.

Innovative learning environments

Our teachers will ignite your child’s imagination, using the latest teaching technologies and approaches to enhance their learning experience.

INNOVATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

At LCIS, our purpose-built learning spaces are supported by modern education technologies to enrich every lesson. We bring your child's learning to life by delivering inspiring education that ignites our students' imaginations. Our learning spaces and technologies are designed to support us in providing the best possible education for our students - an education that is fit for the future our students will inherit.

As part of the Nord Anglia family, our students connect and collaborate with their international peers across the world on Global Campus, our unique online platform.

Exceptional learning experiences

At LCIS, students embrace a variety of experiences, from interacting with the Nord Anglia global family to working with MIT or The Juilliard School. These opportunities develop their integrity, courage and independence from a young age, empowering them to make a positive impact on the world.

EXCEPTIONAL LEARNING EXPERIENCES

Our glorious surroundings - Lac Léman, the Jura Mountains, and the Swiss Alps - mean that skiing, hiking and outdoor adventures are integral parts of the academic calendar. For instance, students can opt to complete their Duke of Edinburgh Award, which not only boosts confidence, but also stands out on a university application. Our broad Performing Arts programme is strengthened by our collaboration with The Juilliard School. Our collaboration with MIT takes a real-world, hands-on approach to teaching STEAM subjects. With UNICEF, we raise awareness of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and learn to create local solutions for global issues. The Citizenship Expedition to Arusha, Tanzania gives students priceless experience of community service while they learn about sustainability and the environment. The Personal Challenge Expedition in Les Martinets, Switzerland develops their perseverance, and challenges them to overcome personal boundaries while enjoying the breath-taking views. LCIS even offers the exclusive Exhibitioner Award, encouraging students to grow and thrive in their interests outside the curriculum, developing skills for life beyond the classroom. With so many experiences to choose from, every student finds a way to nurture their talents and develop new skills.

Our social purpose

We challenge every student to become a responsible, positive contributor to society. We strive to foster confident global citizens who’ll make our world a better place.

Our social purpose

Our students make meaningful change through global outreach, by fundraising and volunteering for causes they care about. Our global partnership with UNICEF helps open our students’ eyes to the world around them and encourages them to develop their own sense of purpose.

On top of that, we encourage students to deliver meaningful change through local outreach, where they can join fundraising and volunteering activities on issues they truly care about. Each year, our students support hundreds of local causes through activities with UNICEF and the United Nation's 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

As part of the IBDP curriculum, students study Creativity, Action, Service (CAS) and Theory of Knowledge (ToK), which give them the tools to research, reflect on, and manage student-led service projects. Through our commitment to delivering the best Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education, we ensure students develop the skills to thrive both as individuals and as members of society.
