Collège Pierre Viret is a private day school on Chemin des Cèdres in Lausanne, taking students from the ninth HarmoS year through to upper secondary. It prepares candidates for the Swiss federal maturité, which is examined by the Swiss Maturity Commission rather than by the school, and for the French baccalauréat. Alongside those it runs secondary classes from 9e to 11e, a pre-maturité year, preparation for the gymnasium entrance examination, a commercial diploma and the Passerelle Dubs. The school has been running since 1937, in a quiet part of central Lausanne.
