Word From The Head

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.

More than 600 students from 64 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.

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...

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!
