The year 2020 has become a historic year for everyone, even before it is over, as the great "adventure" of lockdown has left a deep imprint on both memory and behavior. It will certainly remain so in schools where they had to take up the challenge of moving to distance learning and dealing with different and unique situations in each group. Champittet has already succeeded in doing so thanks to the fantastic results of our final year students, all of whom have obtained their secondary school diplomas.
3 times 100% is not ordinary, it had never before happened in the yet long and glorious history of our School, nor is it easy, even in a year in which 2 of the 3 diplomas were awarded without a final exam. For the French Baccalaureate and the International Baccalaureate, because of the difficulty for the authorities to clarify the grading process and the issuing of qualifications, the school work went all the way to the end, and it was necessary to maintain motivation among students in a context full of uncertainty. For the Swiss Maturity, the commitment of the teachers who spent some of their holidays doing extra revision work and giving final advice to students before the exams at the end of August must be highlighted!
These results are down to our exceptional students, of course, and it is thanks to their work that they succeeded. But it is also thanks to the involvement of their teachers and the confidence they have gained from them that they were able to inspire them to do so. From the smallest to the largest classes, everyone is concerned by this success since some of our now Alumni have spent all their school days at Champittet and their success is the success of the whole community.
If Champittet is a school that takes up all kinds of challenges, then this three diploma "hat trick" for the classes of 2020 was a major one in line with our hopes and wishes, it is because we are convinced that the keys to success is solidarity, courage and competence, and that when these three qualities are combined, this very demanding, sometimes difficult job, which is education, leads to the most beautiful reward, which is the success of our students.
Boarding at Collège Champittet offers the opportunity to enjoy exceptional adventures not only in Switzerland, but also around the globe! Recently, a group of our boarding students travelled to Oman to spend an unforgettable two weeks immersed in culture and nature.
