About the School
La Garenne International School is a family-run private boarding and day school in Villars-sur-Ollon, Switzerland, offering an intimate Alpine education for students aged 3 to 18. Founded in 1947, the school is smaller than many Swiss international boarding schools, with a close residential community and a strong emphasis on pastoral care, wellbeing, and personal growth. Its academic pathway combines the English National Curriculum and International Primary Curriculum in the younger years, progressing towards senior school options that include the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. What differentiates La Garenne is its nurturing "family away from home" atmosphere, supported by outdoor learning, skiing, expeditions, and a broad activities programme in the Swiss Alps. Families often choose La Garenne for its personal scale, structured boarding environment, international outlook, and supportive preparation for future study.
Located in the beautiful Villars-sur-Ollon, La Garenne International School has been providing exceptional education since 1947. With a student body of 120+ students from around the world, the school offers a truly international learning environment with instruction in English & French.
