A tradition of excellence

Swiss schools are recognized for their outstanding educational
standards. Synonymous with excellence and quality, these schools first
gained their reputation in the 19th century when affluent parents entrusted their children to Swiss boarding schools.
Over the centuries, Switzerland’s reputation for educational brilliance
has grown. Switzerland’s own virtues of tradition are reflected in its school
system. “The principal goal of education is to create men who are
capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations
have done”, Piaget said.
Switzerland prides itself in being able to offer a first-class education
through its pre- and post-university studies. These qualities ensure that pupils are equipped to
confront the present day challenges of globalization.
Switzerland welcomes students into a multicultural environment. Each student contributes his
or her own language, culture and religion into making our institution
part of a “global village”. We unite all the possible elements to
prepare each alumnus to become a world citizen. We hope that Globalise
will help you to discover the excellence of Swiss education.
Paradise for winter sports

Sport is a fundamental part of Swiss life, both physically –as a
contributor to physical health and harmony– and mentally, as a key to
well-being through fair-play. High
schools in Switzerland are paradise for those who love sport: a
multitude of sports are offered and are practiced per day under the
guidance of qualified staff. Most Swiss high schools participate in
all inter-school tournaments and most hold a highly respected winning record.
The famous motto "mens sana in corpore sano" indicates the fundamental value
of physical well-being and of intensive physical activities as the
basis for a harmonious development of the whole person. Gordon Spencer,
the legendary British Games Master, firmly implanted sporting values
such as "how you play the game", "team spirit" and "fair play". These
values still guide Swiss schools in the physical education of their
students.
During the winter, traditional winter sports take place every day and
are run by qualified monitors. Swiss students soon become adept at
skiing, snowboarding,and ice-hockey. The
range of winter sports events and school teams contribute to the
exclusive image of Swiss boarding schools.
