Word From The Head

Head Photo

Anne-Marie Harwood, Managing Director


Over 30 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 live and thrive together in two languages.

Today, our dream is a reality.

Approximately 600 students from 50 countries play, learn, and grow together at Haut-Lac, an international Swiss bilingual school.

We are humbled by the trust put in us by their parents and honoured to be a part of their journey.

We are very excited for the journey ahead of us but also sad to say goodbye to such an amazing country, amazing people, and an amazing school. Haut-Lac has been an anchor for us here-providing a rhythm and routine for life, friends for all of us, and an immediate welcome and connection. The school...

Mon fils avait fait toute sa scolarité aux US jusqu’à mon déménagement en Suisse en 2017. Il s’était alors retrouvé dans un pays où les langues ne lui étaient pas familières, sans amis, où le système scolaire était très différent de celui dont il avait l’habitude et en plus où il devait étudier en...

Class of 2020 Graduate


It is not easy to say goodbye to the place which has been our home and formed who we are, in these strange circumstances. However, myself and the class of 2020, deeply appreciate the effort made to acknowledge our time at school. Haut-lac is not just a school or a community, but a family, and that...

Since leaving Haut-Lac in 2010 with 40 points in the IB, I have graduated university, done two more courses and started my own business. Thank you Haut-Lac for giving me the foundations I needed to be where I am today!
