Founded in 1910, Collège Alpin Beau Soleil has long been regarded as one of Switzerland’s finest schools. Our reputation is based not only on our holistic approach to education, but also our commitment to internationalism, warm boarding community, and strong values.Uniquely located in a beautiful alpine village high in the Swiss Alps, Beau Soleil is a safe, inspiring, and exciting place to learn. Home to just 300 students – almost all of whom are full-time boarders – our school is like a family, where everyone receives the attention and guidance they need to thrive academically and flourish as an individual.

Our educational philosophy empowers our students to be the best they can be. Learning is personalised to individual strengths, passions, and ambitions, and stretches way beyond the classroom and campus.

Life-changing opportunities – from whole-school challenges and global expeditions to our Winter Sports Programme – develop a breadth of skills, attributes, and experiences. They also nurture our students’ understanding and appreciation of the world around them.

Inspired by passionate teachers and a caring community, our students gain outstanding academic results. This prepares them for the future of their choice – including courses at prestigious universities around the world.
