Bilingual French / English programme from age 3 to 18 years
Ignite your child's love for learning
Rooted in Swiss heritage and standards, Collège Champittet day and boarding school offers an outstanding international education that instils lifelong values, inspires academic excellence, and provides a passport to a bright future.
Our bilingual French-English private school welcomes students of all nationalities and backgrounds. With internationally recognised curricula and a strong sense of values rooted in our Catholic heritage, we nurture and inspire our students to achieve their best.
Situated on the shore of Lake Geneva—and just a short walk from the vibrant lights of Lausanne and the majestic Swiss Alps—our four-hectare campus is home to learners of all ages, with optional boarding for secondary school students.
WHAT MAKES OUR SCHOOL SPECIAL?
With our strong heritage stretching back over 120 years, at Collège Champittet we are both traditional in our values, and modern in our teaching approach.
We teach internationally respected curricula (Swiss Maturité, French Baccalaureate and International Baccalaureate) in a truly bilingual environment (French and English, with German introduced from a young age) to help our students become global citizens.
Our Forest School Programme
Based on the pedagogy of outdoor education, our youngest students spend several hours per week immersed in the nature to breathe clean air, become aware of the environment, and learn new knowledge and skills.
Our bilingual approach
Classes are taught by native speakers of French and English. Children are gradually introduced to English language from the age of 3. Additional German classes are offered to all the students, and are introduced into the curriculum at Grade 4.
Our collaborations
Our students explore STEAM, the performing arts and global issues through our collaborations with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), The Juilliard School and UNICEF.
Our teachers
We recruit outstanding teachers from around the world who are adept at integrating students from all nationalities and backgrounds; our teachers adopt a personalised approach to support every student and instil a lifelong love of learning.
Our results
Our students achieve excellent academic outcomes, with 100% pass rates in 2024 for the Swiss Maturité and the International Baccalaureate (IB), with scores consistently above the world average for the French Baccalaureate.
Our Swiss heritage
We are a Swiss school with a global outlook; we proudly uphold Swiss standards of excellence in all that we do while enriching our students’ education with the best international practices.
Our environment
Located along the beautiful shores of Lake Geneva our Lausanne campus provides a safe and nurturing environment to inspire students’ growth and development.
