College Alpin Beau Soleil (old)

Founded in 1910, Beau Soleil is one of the most prestigious private boarding schools in Switzerland.

We provide a full boarding education for students aged between 11-18 years old and who come from around the world. Located in a beautiful and safe alpine location and offering a genuinely international education experience, College Alpin Beau Soleil has long been regarded as one of Switzerland’s finest schools.

At Beau Soleil our educational philosophy encourages students, who come from more than 55 different nations, to be the best they can be. We believe it's what you do that counts.

With a capacity of only 290 students, we create a family atmosphere where each student is offered individual attention and a home from home boarding experience.

Exciting experiences both inside and outside of the classroom — from extended curriculum days to educational trips across the world, full-school challenges and our winter ski programme — help our students to develop a greater understanding and appreciation of the world around them and to develop skills including team work, collaboration and resilience, important for their future.

At Beau Soleil, we believe it’s what you do that counts. From a student’s first days at the school, they begin a holistic educational journey based on our four core values which are woven into all areas of school life: Respect, Responsibility, Ambition and Determination.
