Chess at Champittet: Learning beyond the board

In March, students and boarders in Grades 7 to 12 enjoyed one of Collège Champittet’s most beloved traditions: our annual Ski Camp. For four magical days, our students explored the snowy peaks of Fiescheralp, a Swiss mountain resort in Valais.

At Collège Champittet, we believe that helping students reflect on their future goals and how to achieve them is key to preparing them for a successful future.

Collège Champittet is committed to educating the leaders of tomorrow: global citizens who will know how to act in a world that is constantly changing, and who have a firm sense of social purpose.

A school community like Champittet may sometimes suffer together, but it always stands together.

The arrival of spring is a wonderful time for our young learners to take a break from daily routines and explore the world.

The recent Swiss Maturité examinations demonstrated exceptional resilience among our students and teachers. After the tragedy in Crans-Montana, many were unable to even consider sitting the exams, which were due to begin two weeks later. Still in shock and dismay, they were unable to concentrate on their revision and feared facing the stress of exams that were crucial for their university admissions.

Many of our Champittet students embarked on new adventures both abroad and in Switzerland during our February break. From participating in community service in Tanzania, to discovering the culture of Japan, to hitting the slopes in Zermatt, our school trips introduced our young travellers to new landscapes and experiences.

At Collège Champittet, we believe that our students’ families play a crucial role in their learning success. We’re here to support parents in every step of their child’s journey, from choosing academic subjects to achieving higher education and career goals.

Our annual STEAM programme at Collège Champittet aims to spark curiosity, foster creativity and develop collaboration through interdisciplinary learning. Powered by our collaboration with MIT, our STEAM curriculum helps students sharpen their skills and knowledge in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.

Collège Champittet has been shaping young minds for more than 120 years. Our heritage of Swiss tradition, international innovation and humanistic values is at the heart of our educational approach today. But did you know that the buildings of our Pully campus also reflect the history of our school?
