The Haut-Lac International Bilingual School educates students from around the world, side by side with local Swiss students. Within the framework of an academically rigorous, student-centred programme, the school strives to create a stimulating bilingual environment which takes into account the diverse cultural backgrounds of the 600 children and adolescents aged 3 to 18 years in its care. Their studies culminate in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. A wide variety of extra-curricular activities complements the academic life of the school.
Over 20 years ago, we were just two families with a dream. We wanted to create a learning space where children from Switzerland and all over the world could come together to live and thrive in two languages. Today, our dream is a reality. 600 students from over 40 countries play, learn, and grow together at Haut-Lac, a Swiss bilingual school. We are humbled by the trust put in us by their parents and honored to be a part of their journey. We hope that you will enjoy discovering for yourself what makes our school so special.
At Haut-Lac, we believe that a holistic approach to education is the only way forward.
We believe that achieving academically is important beyond any doubt, and are proud of our unique primary curriculum and the International Baccalaureate Middle Years and Diploma programmes. However, a well-rounded education that includes sports, arts, and a sensitivity to different cultures is of equal importance.
We adapt our approach to the developmental stages of the children and adolescents in our care.
Not every method is appropriate for every child, so our teachers are sensitive to individual needs and focused on identifying and using approaches that will work for each student.
We encourage creativity, problem-solving, and good decision making.
We want your child to learn critical-thinking skills, reinforce hard work habits, inspire them to communicate ideas in more than one language, and help them to become a leader and team player.
We believe that a true bilingual education is not limited to offering academic instruction in two languages.
Unlike other schools, we offer true bilingual immersion in study, play, and daily activities. No matter what your child’s language level is today, they will leave our school equipped to live in English and French.

Since its inception in 2010, thousands of Pre-K through Grade 12 students from around the world have enjoyed an exceptional educational experience at Chadwick International.
At Chadwick International, learning is not one-dimensional. Our culture and courses are designed to foster healthy minds, bodies and attitudes for an educational experience that’s both academically and personally enriching. From the science lab to the soccer field, the art studio to the great outdoors, education is a multifaceted experience that allows students to explore their passions, identify their purpose and discover their potential. Developing the “whole child” means providing opportunities for growth both in and outside the classroom. At Chadwick International, students learn how to powerfully balance school work alongside co-curricular activities and their personal lives.

They learn how to overcome challenges and cultivate meaningful relationships. Practicing our Core Values of Respect, Responsibility, Honesty, Fairness and Compassion prepares them for a life that is highly active, accomplished and fulfilling.
The success of Chadwick’s Athletics Program stems from student-athletes who live and breathe our Core Values. From practice to game day, our athletes are coached to compete with character. They learn to both lead and support teammates, to respect their opponents and to persevere through challenges on and off the field. They consistently and courageously push past their comfort zone, learning to take risks and build resilience, regardless of the outcome. They also discover that a commitment to being our best is never about being perfect.
There’s a sense of pride that comes with wearing a Chadwick uniform. Our program exposes student-athletes to much more than competition, giving them endless opportunities to develop their character both on and off the field. With 15 major sports available, as well as clubs and CICP (Chadwick International Community Program) activities, students have a wealth of opportunities to discover and develop their athletic talents. Experienced and expert coaches direct competitive Chadwick teams in domestic and international competitions.
