Overview At Beau Soleil, we believe it’s what you do that counts. This philosophy governs how we work with staff and students. We are a community that values action, engagement and participation, inside and outside the classroom. Our education is built around four core values: Respect, Responsibility, Ambition and Determination, providing a framework for our international student body.
With curricular programmes in both English and French, students graduate with an IB or Advanced Studies Diploma. Small class sizes support a flexible programme and staff are encouraged and supported to bring new ideas to all that they do. Our location in the heart of Villars-sur-Ollon offers an enviable lifestyle with access to skiing in winter and many outdoor activities throughout the year.
College facilities are maintained to support both students and staff in a productive environment.
