The Lausanne Way Forward

Through the supportive relationships of faculty and peers as well as the ownership students take of their own academic endeavors, Lausanne students are confident risk-takers with an understanding of a broad and balanced range of disciplines.

Lausanne’s students all benefit from having all three divisions on the same campus. From an early age, Lower School students gain a sense of the collegiate-prep journey they are on as they connect their early learning connections with older students. Middle and Upper School students are inspired by the interests and encouragement of their peers.

After years of exploring different subjects and co-curricular activities, internships, class trips and reflective conversations with faculty and friends, students work closely with Lausanne’s college advisors to apply to a wide range of schools.

2021 SCHOOL PROFILE!

Annually, the younger grade levels look forward to seeing the opportunities that await the senior class when they walk across campus with their college t-shirts.

The 8th graders have their first college advising experiences as they begin meeting with Upper School administrators and tour the Upper School. They complete their first college advising reflection and study during the spring semester parent/teacher conference. Parents also have the opportunity to meet with the college advisors and tour the Upper School.

In 9th grade, both an Upper School administrator and a college advisor meet with each family to discuss their student’s aspirational college goals. Students receive guidance on what courses, internships and extracurricular activities will help them as they move forward through their academic journey. In 10th grade, students and parents meet with their college advisor to assess academic progress and address any concerns through early intervention. PSAT testing is reviewed, and students make goals for junior testing. Students also begin creating their college resume and conducting mock interviews.

In 11th grade, students begin the year visiting a variety of different college campuses during their class trip. The tours create a great learning environment showing students how to explore academic options and find their “right fit” institution. Throughout the year, students will continue to receive guidance on their resumes and mock interviews. Additionally, a customized ACT prep program is made available to all 11th grade students. Weekly meetings focused on college advising will begin in the spring. Over 130 colleges and universities will send representatives to Lausanne during this time to recruit our students.

The 12th graders benefit from previous years of personalized reflection with the college advisors and faculty mentors. Students and parents will meet with college advisors at the beginning of the 12th-grade year to create a targeted and tailored application list based on the student’s academic profile, personal goals and professional plans. Together, they will review application deadlines and identify potential scholarship opportunities. A college application boot camp in the fall will help seniors learn tips and best practices for filling out applications.

Lausanne has long been a place that helps students find their passion and confidence in an environment of empathy and true community support. Students’ interests are unlimited and their passion for learning lifelong. Through thoughtful and intentional learning experiences and the International Baccalaureate Programmes’ depth, students excel academically and personally, gaining a competitive edge when applying to the top universities in the world.

The variety of colleges and universities Lausanne graduates choose to attend year after year exemplifies Lausanne’s efforts to help each student find his or her own unique path. We hope their opportunities for success inspire you to explore Lausanne for the students in your life.
