LET THE ADVENTURE BEGIN
Summer School
Two Distinct Programmes
THE CLASSIC (AGES 8-12) New opportunities to combine enriching education with expeditionary adventure awaits in the Classic summer programme. This is a chance to dive into untested waters with the assurance that students will be supported and encouraged.
THE EAGLE (AGES 13-16) An ambitious, exciting journey supports the development of the young people who enter our Eagle summer programme. We help students prepare not just for our mountain expeditions, but to relish opportunities in the world beyond.

TRIPS & EXPEDITIONS Students take part in an overnight expedition, leaving campus for two days to explore our local Alpine enviroment. Non-residential students join the expedition, and are included in the overnight camping. For one week students, please check with us if the week of summer school selected includes the expedition phase. Students have the chance to try an adventure activity such as rafting, canyoning or a climbing course, along with hiking and pitching a tent. Expedition is an oppurtunity to work as a team, then to relax around the campfire! Day excursions include visiting Lac Léman and many beautiful lakeside towns, visiting museums and discovering traditional Swiss products.
BOARDING HOUSE LIFE Students are allocated their boarding house based on gender, age and to include a diverse range of nationalities. Each boarding house has a live-in team (house parent and two tutors) who manage the well-being of every student and are the first point of contact for parents. Rooms are spacious and are typically shared with two or three other students of a similar age.
