Lausanne collegiate school

[EduCativ]

Since our founding in 1926, Lausanne has continually evolved for the better. But our founders’ emphasis on challenging the status quo, commitment to small classes, inspiring teachers, and highly individualized instruction are values we hold dear today.
Lausanne Collegiate School offers students a distinctive learning community through an established tradition of educational innovation. We forge meaningful relationships and embrace global mindedness. We learn from one another and honor and celebrate our differences and our likenesses.
We have graduated generations of alumni empowered to forge their path. And our students learn to respect and consider others' viewpoints as they work through complex problems today, just as they have for 90 years. That desire for different thoughts and opinions has steadily grown our campus's diversity over the decades, giving our students the ability to form meaningful relationships across stereotypical, socio-economic, and global divides.
While we are proud of the history that we have built together, we challenge ourselves to be better tomorrow than we are today. We continually look for ways to serve our students and community further. Lausanne will continue to adjust to fully prepare our graduates for college and life in a global environment. However, our consistent core values will continue to guide us into the future just as they have for the past 90 years.
Our school has an incredible history. It has long been a place that helps students find their passion in an environment of tolerance and empathy, and real community support. At Lausanne, the artist, the academic, and the athlete can be celebrated for their interests but not be typecast into a role because of them.
At Lausanne, we prepare all our students for life in a global environment. As we look at the world they will encounter when they begin to seek their journeys in college and beyond, preparing them to work, interact, and collaborate with a diverse mix of people is essential for their future success.
With girls and boys from 55 different countries and 47% of color students, Lausanne truly is a microcosm of the world. The diversity allows students to learn from each other, giving them better cognitive abilities and improved social skills. Teaching girls and boys how to learn and work together from an early age allow students to see beyond stereotypes and grow their respect for viewpoints different from their own.
In a child’s early, formative years, they acquire the building blocks of their education and their perceptions of the world. Under Lausanne’s expert faculty's guidance, students are given a safe environment to learn from people different from themselves. As they mature, they grow in their appreciation of other perspectives, approaches, and responses. This interaction across gender divides promotes more thoughtful students prepared to engage in meaningful discussion and debate.
Lausanne develops the individual talents, intellects, creativity, and character of girls and boys through innovative teaching strategies and passionate and engaged learning within our diverse Pre-Kindergarten-12th grade setting. Empowering students to seek their journey is key to the Lausanne Way, and by providing an environment that mimics the world they will encounter, our students are prepared to succeed. Contact our Admission office to schedule a tour and see the Lausanne Way first-hand.
Regardless of their gender, each student learns differently, and teachers at Lausanne work to ensure that the right educational approach is used for each student. Our faculty look deeper than stereotypes to ensure that each child is taught most effectively within their co-educational experience.
"We live in a mixed-gender, fast-paced, and competitive society. We chose to have our daughters study at Lausanne because we believe that a co-ed school structure will help them build confidence and become used to partnering competing with peers regardless of race or gender. Lausanne offers this perfect balance of skills that will prepare them for the diverse academic and work environments in our society."
The unique research- and inquiry-based educational process for boys and girls at Lausanne Collegiate School includes small class sizes inspiring and supportive faculty, and the advantage of sharing diverse cultures, experiences, opinions, and interests.
The renowned International Baccalaureate Programme and wide range of extra-curricular activities give Lausanne students a competitive edge in the college admission process and the skills and attributes necessary to explore and find success in a global environment.
