SWISS FEDERATION OF PRIVATE SCHOOLS

Private Education “Made in Switzerland”

With its four languages, varied cultures, beautiful landscapes and peaceful political environment, Switzerland is not only a prime destination for tourism but also plays a leading role in the international education field. For over a century, Swiss private schools – offering individualised, innovative and highstandard educational opportunities – have been one of the top quality products of Switzerland.

The value of Swiss Education In today’s globalized world, the tradition of excellence of the services offered by Switzerland is well established. The diversity and the quality of its academic institutions are famous: they range from top universities to boarding primary and high schools offering Swiss, French, English and American diplomas, from hotel and tourism academies to institutes specialized in languages, finance and commerce, from exci ting summer and winter holiday camps to classic finishing schools for young women. Swiss education institutions have adapted remarkably well to the globalized and extremely competitive contemporary life. Research, an essential component of success in science and technology, is highly advanced in public universities and technological institutes and the number of Nobel Prize laureates coming from their ranks is impressive. In order to achieve excellence, private schools associations have set up strict quality control procedures of the academic programs of their members. The well known “International Baccalaureate” degree, adopted by more and more high schools world-wide, originates in Switzerland. The reputation of Swiss hotel and tourism schools largely stems from the balance they have been able to achieve in their programs between a practical knowledge of the various jobs of the hotel industry and the most advanced management techniques. So, Swiss education, because of the reliability and the in-depth quality of the programs offered, provides all the tools necessary for a successful career.

Swiss private schools reach out to the world! Swiss private schools offer a cosmopolitan, internationally recognised education for all ages to nearly 100'000 pupils from Switzerland and over 100 other countries. Students from Europe, North and South America, Asia, Russia, India, Africa, the Middle East, Scandinavia and many other parts of the world, are all currently enrolled in Swiss private schools. As it is not mass production that characterises Swiss industries, but rather specialised high quality products, the same goes for private education. One of the attractions of Swiss private schools is the variety of international curricula they 4

offer, courses which enable students to pursue higher education in the country of their choice. Custom-tailored programs, such as special training for talented young athletes, language support and integration classes for non-native speakers, finishing programs, hotel management or business degrees and language courses complete a high-standard individualised educational offer. Minds are challenged, but sportive achievement is also encouraged: the fascinating settings of the Alps, glaciers, rivers and lakes are the perfect environment for numerous outdoor activities and sports. A wide variety of winter and summer sports, ranging from skiing, football, basketball, swimming and tennis to horse-back riding and hiking complete our academic programs.

The environment to success The members of the Swiss Federation of Private Schools have made a choice: to offer the best environment for you or your children’s schooling. We invite you to enjoy high-quality education, to combine adventure and learning, to travel in a country of diversity, to meet students from all over the world by sharing a very special lifestyle. Our smaller guests will experience a new home, offering the love and attention they require. Our older students will appreciate the excitement of living abroad and making new friends for life. Our boarding schools can offer a healthy community life embedded in a perfect infrastructure.

“Swiss International Schools” All the schools listed in this directory are members of the Swiss Federation of Private Schools (SFPS), which guarantees that they satisfy various quality criteria. The brochure mainly focuses on international boarding schools. The first section of the guide presents the schools situated in the French speaking part of Switzerland; the second section is dedicated to the educational institutions in the German part of Switzerland. We hope this guide will allow you a quick, informative overview and that this in turn will facilitate your search for a suitable school. Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us. 5

An average class size of twelve and technology at the heart of learning keep academic objectives in sight. All students continue to Higher Education. Personalised timetables challenge the students to excel in their strengths. All students are encouraged to explore the world around them by joining the numerous weekend excursions. After class, extra-curricular activities develop interests via creative, sporting or humanitarian activities. A brand new multipurpose hall in the centre of the campus offers numerous sports and cultural activities.

At Chantemerle, we also believe that sports, artistic and cultural activities are as important as academic success. In an international environment, students learn to live together with tolerance and respect for others. Once they have left Chantemerle, as adults, they will continue their lives with the strong sense of solidarity and friendship that characterizes our school. Chantemerle strives to understand the needs and expectations of each family and to provide an excellent education at a transparent, reasonable cost. We invite you to visit our school in Blonay and meet the people who make it a success.
