A Champittet education invites students to broaden their horizons and set their sights high – and this is especially true when it comes to choosing a university! Last month, our campus was buzzing with energy and excitement as our high school students and families joined us for our annual university fair. We welcomed over 100 leading universities from around the world, making this a fantastic way for our students to learn more about different higher education programmes and plan ahead for the future.
It's a privilege for students to have the chance to meet with representatives from so many international universities under one roof. Jane Driscoll Himmelrich, our Career and University Guidance Counsellor, said, “I’m extremely grateful that we are able to host such a large-scale university fair at Champittet. Giving our students and families the opportunity to meet with such a broad range of universities elevates our guidance programme in so many ways. It opens students’ ideas and helps them gather concrete information to make informed next steps.”
From Switzerland and across Europe to the UK, the US, Canada and even Hong Kong, this year’s university fair drew institutions from all over the world. Our students spoke with representatives from top universities such as the University of St Gallen, University of Toronto, University of Navarra, University of St Andrews, and New York University, to name just a few. And they made quite the impression!
Jane Driscoll Himmelrich noted that many university representatives noted the poise and preparation of our Champittet students. “Students are in the driver’s seat at an event like this. They came so well-prepared! It’s great to see how energised and excited they are about their options after attending the university fair. Their gratitude for the opportunities they have at Champittet shines through, and it's rewarding to observe how they use our fair as a springboard for their future plans.”
Many thanks to all our university fair organisers and representatives, and to our students for the great turnout. We can’t wait to see where your academic journey goes next!
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” Here at Champittet, we know that inspiring children to dream big while envisioning their future is a core part of education. It’s also the focus of Dare All Trades Day, or JOM (Journée Oser tous les Métiers).
The Winter Ball is an eagerly awaited annual tradition here at Champittet, but this year brought a twist: the school’s first ever Masquerade Ball. With the theme “Black and Gold, don’t forget your mask!”, this year’s winter dance was organised by 14th-grade IB students, and the event was open to students in grades 9 and 10.
Who says summer is far away? Registration is now open for the Champittet Leadership Camp!
