Engelberg’s monastery lies nestled in the Alpine landscape. Benedictine educational traditions provide the foundation for today’s school – the Stiftsschule. We are a Christian boarding and day school with a modern educational program. Our school is a place for living and learning. It enables students to take on responsibility. It also prepares them optimally for higher education and for a career in our globalized world. The personal atmosphere of the Stiftsschule encourages the individual development of the young people in our care, and promotes a sense of community spirit. The years spent sharing classes and living space by day students and boarders alike have resulted in many friendships for life. The bilingual Swiss Matura allows our students to transfer to Swiss universities such as HSG St. Gallen, ETH Zurich and EPFL Lausanne without having to take an exam.

Founded in 2011, the Verbier International School (VIS) offers an intensive and engaging academic curriculum further enriched with extra-curricular activities from the age of 2 to 18 in the heart of the Swiss Alps. VIS has grown progressively without losing its family ethos and focus on outdoor education, and is distinct in that it offers year-round education but also welcomes students exclusively for the Winter term. We welcome students from age 12 to share an experience of a lifetime in the Alps by becoming a boarder, benefiting from one of the best places to live as well as an excellent education. The ski programme includes race and freeride academies as well as tailored instruction to suit all ages and abilities. The school maintains a holistic ethos to enable autonomy and independence in a nurturing, supportive and family-focused environment.

Haut-Lac is an international school with over 50 nationalities. But unlike other international schools, 62% of our students are local and 21.6% of those are Swiss. And it’s this stability that helps the others settle into life with the Haut-Lac family and in Switzerland quickly. Within the boarding house, however, we opt for diversity by capping each nationality at 10%. Our boarders are therefore able to better their multicultural awareness and understanding as they get to know and interact with their international family during their studies. Skills that will put them in good stead when they enter the real world after graduation. As a family-oriented Swiss international school, we consider all students our children. We want to give each and every one of them chance to study and find their passion at Haut-Lac. It’s only a short walk from our boutique boarding home to our school campuses for international students and athletes, who want to benefit from Haut-Lac’s truly bilingual, English or French academic and extra-curricular expertise.
