Copperfield International School Verbier

We strive to make our admissions process transparent, thorough and trouble-free. Our mission is to find students who demonstrate great character, potential, and a natural curiosity. Our aim throughout the process is to give families the clearest possible sense of what life at our school looks, sounds and feels like, from multiple perspectives.

We use OpenApply to ensure that our process is smooth and efficient. You will have the opportunity to speak with members of our faculty, our leadership team, our headteacher, as well as students and parents.

Regular Process
We have designed our admissions process to be as stress-free as possible. Our aim is to find out your family's needs and aspirations, and to meet them.

Below is a step-by-step outline of our regular admissions process:

Contact
Your first contact will be with Hannah Leggett, our Head of Admissions. This is a chance for us to get to know your family's goals and for you to discover more about our vision for education.

We will then ask you to fill out our enrolment form.

Visit
We believe that a transparent, immersive admissions experience will build mutual trust and help your family to make a fully-informed decision.

We encourage both in-person and virtual visits - whichever suits your family best. You will then have the opportunity to meet our faculty, students, and parents.

The Head of our Parent Teacher Association, Jonas Palm, is available to answer questions at +41 79 221 72 78.

Apply
Once you have spoken with our team and visited our campus, we send two questionnaires to complete. These are designed to allow you and your children to express your ideas and what you will contribute to the Copperfield community.

We ask for references from previous schools and school transcripts.

The Admissions team will then send an invoice for a deposit to confirm your child's place in class. Congratulations – your family are now members of the Copperfield community!

Prepare
Our team has over 100 years of experience living in Verbier, and is on hand to assist with accommodation, local amenities and visa applications.

We also conduct a thorough handover with your previous school, well in advance of your arrival at Copperfield. This helps us to align curriculum gaps, plan for personalised learning requirements, and prepare teachers to know your child's name on day one.
