Daily life at Collège Champittet in Switzerland offers a perfect blend of variety and routine, ensuring our students thrive.

A balance of variety and structure ensures our boarders flourish in and beyond the classroom. Here, every student’s day is filled with fun, friendships, and a breadth of extraordinary experiences. Our schedule enables boarding students to focus on their learning and wellbeing, too. What's more, our location on the shore of Lake Geneva - close to the centre of Lausanne - offers a rich assortment of activities outside of their daily routine.

After classes have finished, our boarding students have assigned study periods in the evening, with access to tutors for individual support and guidance. We also encourage them to pursue personal interests, hobbies, and extracurricular activities with their fellow classmates.

Lights out
