College Alpin International Beau Soleil
Founded in 1910, Beau Soleil is one of the most prestigious private boarding schools in Switzerland. It provides a full boarding education for students aged between 11-18 years old and who come from around the world. Located in a beautiful and safe alpine location and offering a genuinely international education experience, College Alpin Beau Soleil has long been regarded as one of Switzerland’s finest schools.
At Beau Soleil, the educational philosophy encourages students, who come from more than 50 different nations, to be the best they can be. A full boarding school with a capacity of 260 students. They can experience the balance of warmth, care, and discipline while at the same time developing a sense of independence. Moreover, in this family atmosphere, each student is offered individual attention and a home-from-home boarding experience.
With educational pathways in both English and French, at the IB level, students can pursue their studies in either language or a combination of the two. Moreover, inspiring teachers support students to achieve their highest potential and the student-to-teacher ratio of 4:1 ensures the school can offer a personalized approach to learning.
Students can also take part in exciting and valuable trips to gain more hands-on experience. Exciting experiences both inside and outside of the classroom — from extended curriculum days to educational trips across the world, full-school challenges, and the winter ski program — help students develop a greater understanding and appreciation of the world around them. They can develop skills including teamwork, collaboration, and resilience, important for their future.
