ABOUT THE SCHOOL


In the heart of the Swiss Alps at 1,500 metres in an exceptional mountain environment, Le Régent students experience h³, a multi-dimensional education that engages the head, heart and hands. Empowered to discover their talents and passion for life, they are challenged with demanding academic and outdoor education curricula that develop their intellect, nurture character development, and equip them with practical skills.


Our educational approach is rooted in intercultural understanding, with student well-being at the core of everything we do. In a highly international, close-knit community with a family-like atmosphere, our students have countless opportunities to take on leadership roles and grow into responsible global citizens eager to shape the future with confidence. By the time they leave Le Régent, they are more knowledgeable about themselves and the world at large, as well as responsible, resilient, caring, and prepared for life beyond school.


Pastoral care is at the heart of everything we do. Our dedicated academic and pastoral teams work hand in hand to create a nurturing, welcoming environment where every student feels valued, supported, and empowered to flourish. For our boarders, this means a true home away from home—where they are encouraged to explore their passions, develop their talents, and build meaningful, lifelong connections with both peers and educators.

Our 2025 IB results continued to surpass the global average and our graduates continue to earn places at prestigious universities worldwide.

Third-Country Nationals’ Applications (non EU/EFTA)


Third-country nationals should be aware that obtaining a work permit is a lengthy process with stricter regulations for third-country nationals (such as those from the UK) compared to EU/EFTA nationals. While we may consider appointing a third-country national, preference will be given to candidates who hold a Swiss residence permit or an EU/EFTA passport.



HOW TO APPLY
