One of four international schools located in the popular ski resort of Villars, La Garenne is the smallest and its nurturing environment genuinely makes pupils feel like part of one big family. Academically, there are a variety of education pathways to suit most children, with the IB programme and an option to follow the American High school diploma in later years. All the courses are taught in English but all pupils achieve a high level of French, alongside retaining their native languages. Small class sizes means plenty of individual attention which encourages pupils to engage and fulfil their potential. The exceptional mountain side location means children can literally ski in and ski out of school. The school successfully promotes an ethos of global citizenship, raising caring, curious and connected children.
