Curriculum: IBCP, IB MYP, IB DP, USDP Haut-Lac International Bilingual School opened its doors in Vevey in 1993 when the benefits of international education were less known than they are today. With only 13 students, the founding directors took on the challenge of educating the community on the advantages of bilingual education, whilst also playing teacher, lunch supervisor, and bus driver. Today, we welcome approximately 600 boys and girls aged 3 to 18 from over 47 countries, and our Les Marronniers Nursery takes care of infants aged 18 months to 3 years. Despite this impressive growth, we remain at the heart and in daily practice a family school. The four founders are still at the helm of a team that is deeply committed to international education and personal excellence. When your children are on campus, they are our children, too. At Haut-Lac International Bilingual School, we believe that a holistic approach to education is the only way forward. Whilst we understand and appreciate the importance of achieving academically, and are proud of our unique Primary curriculum and four Secondary curricula, we also know that a well-rounded education requires teaching sport, art, transferable skills, and cultural awareness. Our approach encourages your child to be creative, to develop their problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, to become a leader and team player, and to communicate ideas in more than one language. As a bilingual school, we believe that true bilingual education is not limited to offering academic instruction in two languages. We offer true bilingual immersion in the study, play, and daily activities so that, no matter what your child’s language level is today, they will leave our school equipped to live in English and French. We also run a predominantly English program for students who come to us with neither English nor French nor whose families are on short-term contracts to Switzerland and plan on returning to study in their respective countries. These students will study all their subjects in English and have one French lesson a day to help them make the most of learning in a bilingual school. We adapt our teaching approach to the developmental stages of the children and adolescents in our care. Not every method is appropriate for every child, so our teachers focus on identifying and using approaches that will work for each student. -
