Language acquisition and residential guidance

English Language Acquisition is one of the named academic programmes. The school says nearly all faculty live on campus, giving pupils access to guidance beyond classroom hours. Families should still confirm the exact learning-support plan and staffing for their child; living near teachers does not by itself establish specialist provision.

Learning and boarding in the Alps

The school is based in Leysin and offers a virtual tour through admissions. Published activities include winter skiing on Tuesdays and Thursdays, cultural excursions and outdoor experiences. Confirm how activities fit the child’s timetable and which costs belong to the school package versus personal spending.

A yearly residential price without a stated year

The reviewed fees page lists CHF 128,000 yearly for education, room and board, plus a CHF 10,000 one-time capital fund. A CHF 10,000 security deposit and suggested CHF 10,000 personal account are separate. The table does not state an academic year, so its amount is shown for context but excluded from dated annual price filtering.
