British Curriculum International Schools in Lausanne, Switzerland

British-curriculum international schools in and around Lausanne are typically English-medium schools or bilingual English - French schools that use UK exam routes (Cambridge IGCSEs and A-levels) in their secondary sections while also offering strong French language teaching because the city is in the French-speaking canton of Vaud. Provision ranges from small day and day-and-boarding schools to larger international campuses, and some institutions combine British programmes with other options such as the IB or an American diploma. Parents should expect annual day fees in the general Lausanne market to be in the tens of thousands of Swiss francs and boarding places to be substantially higher; schools also publish application and enrolment deposits and exam fees. Admissions are school-run rather than centralised, and families are usually advised to start enquiries about 6 - 12 months before a September start because many schools set priority deadlines in the autumn or winter and make offers in late winter or spring.
