OUR SOCIAL PURPOSE

The Collège Champittet Foundation is the beating heart of community life at our school. Established in 2010, the Foundation brings students, parents, and staff together to work towards a common purpose, supporting disadvantaged children in Thailand, Madagascar, and Lebanon, as well as across Switzerland.  

Working closely with local and international charities, our students raise money, plan projects, and see the tangible impact of their hard work on field trips to partner communities. This not only gives them a fresh perspective on the world, but also helps them to develop vital leadership, organisational, and teamwork skills.  

Through our exclusive collaboration with UNICEF, your child will learn about urgent international issues – like the UN Sustainable Development Goals and climate change – and work on inspiring solutions through UNICEF’s Global Challenge programme. Activities surrounding World Children’s Day also teach our students about their rights, how to protect them, and how to advocate for those who may not have a voice.

Our caring international environment is the perfect place for your child to take the lead. On our Champittet Foundation Committee, Student Council, and as class representatives, our extraordinary young leaders grow in confidence and demonstrate creative thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative skills. They also cultivate a strong sense of purpose and community across the school.
