Collège Alpin Beau Soleil and Collège Champittet in Switzerland, and Nord Anglia International School Dubai have all been listed in the index, which features 'the very, very best' of leading private education schools globally.

Collège Alpin Beau Soleil was listed in Spear's top 10 schools in Switzerland for its focus on a 'holistic education' and 'global reach', while Collège Champittet was recognised for its 'rigorous and well-rounded' education.

Our academic achievements speak for themselves, and we value the recognition, which reinforces our belief that there are no limits to what we can achieve for ourselves and others.'
