Admission procedure

Day-school admission

• Before admission can be considered, parents are requested to fill in an admission form accompanied by a detailed report on the child’s previous years’ academic performance. By signing the admission form, the parents accept to pay the enrolment fee (see “Annual Fees” documents).
• Admission is decided by the school management, based on the above-mentioned academic record, a preliminary meeting and the advice of the selection committee. In certain cases, an academic orientation test or an entrance examination are requested.
• The enrolment fee (see “Annual Fees” documents) is due for each applicant upon reception of the invoice. The registration fee remain due should the enrolment be cancelled, whatever the reason may be.
• For a day-school admission, the student must be living with his/her parents and has his/her home in the region of Lausanne or its surroundings. This rule also applies to students having reached the age of 18.

Boarding school admission

In addition to above-mentioned day-school formalities, the admission of any boarder is fixed as from class 6 of the middle school. The following original documents are required:

• A passport (for non-Swiss nationals) or an identity card (for Swiss nationals)
• An entry visa, according to the requirements of the Swiss Embassy in the country of your domicile (this can take up to two months); the school declines all responsibility in case of the late arrival of a boarder due to a problem concerning a visa or other essential document.
• A birth certificate/identity card
• A proof of residence (for the 5 days boarding students)
• A vaccination booklet
• One photograph

Students are asked to bring practical, resistant clothing. The school advises you to avoid brand-name clothes and accessories. The school declines any responsibility in case of theft (clothes, money, jewels, computers, mobile phones, etc.). In the case of fire, the student’s personal belongings are insured to a maximum of CHF 15’000.-.

No uniform is required by our school. With the parents’ approval, the school may assist the students in completing their wardrobe and sports equipment. Personal purchases are subject to parental consent. For pocket money please refer to “Annual fees – Boarding school”.

If the medical state of the student requires particular attention, a certificate and medical follow-up are requested by the school (see application form).

The health insurance of the school is compulsory for every boarder, except for those whose parents are Swiss residents. The school, in loco parentis, has the necessary parental authorisation to undertake any measures required to ensure medical treatment of the student. The insurance cover of the school ends upon the departure of the student.

The boarder can only become a day student on the sole condition that he/she is living with his/her parents and has his home in the region of Lausanne and its surroundings. This rule is also applicable to the students having already reached the age of 18.

Both the parents and the students are required to sign the school and boarding school rules after having read them.
