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.

Exceptional learning experiences
At our school, students embrace a variety of experiences, from interacting with the NAE global family to working with MIT or The Juilliard School. These 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
At LCIS, 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.
LCIS_Sept 2021_233
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.
