Over 30 years ago, we were just two families with a dream.

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.

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!
