Haut-Lac International Bilingual School is a leading international bilingual and boutique boarding school on the Swiss Riviera, just 10 minutes from Vevey and Montreux and 20 minutes from Lausanne, welcoming Swiss, international and expat families from across the Lake Geneva region and beyond.
Founded in 1993 and led to this day by its founding family, Haut-Lac brings over 30 years of experience delivering exceptional bilingual and international education in Switzerland. Today, the school welcomes over 600 students from more than 60 nationalities. Accredited by CIS, IBO, NEASC and SGIS, and a member of the Boarding Schools Association (BSA), the school is grounded in strong human values, genuine pastoral care, and a deep commitment to every child's wellbeing and growth.
Haut-Lac offers a complete English–French bilingual or English-only education for students from Nursery (18 months) through to age 18. Students complete their studies with the International Baccalaureate (IB), with the choice of the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) or the IB Career-related Programme (IBCP) — making Haut-Lac one of the few IB schools in Switzerland to offer both pathways.
Small class sizes ensure every student receives genuinely personalised support — reflected in a 100% IB pass rate and results consistently above the world average, with graduates progressing to leading universities across Switzerland and worldwide.
As the first Athlete-Friendly Education Centre (AFEC) accredited by the World Academy of Sport (WAoS) in Switzerland, Haut-Lac offers a dedicated IB Sport & Study programme for high-level student athletes, combining elite sporting development with rigorous academic achievement — without compromise on either.
As a modern Swiss boarding school, Haut-Lac provides comfortable accommodation with en-suite rooms, supervised study and 150+ extra-curricular activities, within a safe, stimulating and truly international community.
