A small community with health provision
The school describes a small, personalised boarding and day community. Its boarding package includes access to a professional nurse and specified basic medication. Learning needs should be discussed during the admissions review; the reviewed sources do not establish a particular specialist support programme or guarantee of individual therapy.
The campus is at Avenue Charles-Secrétan 16, 1005 Lausanne. Facilities described include an art studio and a music studio with recording equipment; private instrumental lessons can take place at school. Families abroad can use video calls and virtual tours before visiting in person.
Different notice dates for day and boarding pupils
Re-enrolment is automatic. For pupils who started in September or January, both 2026/27 booklets require written notice before 20 March 2027 to leave for the next academic year. For March/April starters, the boarding booklet uses before 1 May 2027, while the day booklet uses before 1 June 2027. Mid-year departure requires the category’s published notice; the boarding booklet also specifies before 20 March 2027 for a June departure. Late notice can make the following term payable and delay admission-deposit settlement until fees are paid. New-entry cancellation dates are distinct from these continuing-pupil rules.

Outstanding fees and late-notice rules can delay release. The spending deposit must be replenished if used; the new boarder’s CHF 400 kit is paid from this pool, so do not add it twice to initial cash required.
