The essence of Beau Soleil – The family school, where effort, fun, responsibility and respect puts wind in our sails and hope in our hearts. The result? We go confidently out into the word with a sense of purpose and an amazing network of lifelong friends.
Founded in 1910 Beau Soleil is one of the oldest private boarding schools in Switzerland. It provides a full boarding education for students from over 40 different nationalities aged 11-18 years old. Given our spectacular location in the Swiss Alps we aim to provide an education which encourages full participation from our students both inside and outside the classroom. We provide a stimulating academic curriculum in both English and French which is balanced with an extensive outdoor expedition and service programme. Through this combination of activities on the ski slopes, the mountain side and in the class room our students develop important skills in team work, collaboration and resilience.
