Private schools in Lausanne & canton Vaud
The Lausanne school where your child will feel at home.
From Lausanne to the Vaud Riviera, the region concentrates bilingual schools, international campuses and family-atmosphere boarding schools. We help you decide on concrete criteria rather than reputation.
Specific profiles
Gifted students, dyslexic profiles, athletes and artists: we target schools genuinely equipped for those paths.
Informed decisions
Written comparison, full cost picture, family feedback and verified availability.
Why international families choose the Lausanne region
Canton Vaud combines a rare density of private schools, a lake-and-mountain setting, quick access from Geneva Airport, and a leading academic ecosystem around EPFL and UNIL. For an arriving family that means real choice: a bilingual track in town, an international campus above Lausanne, or a family boarding school twenty minutes away on the Riviera.
The criteria that actually matter
Curriculum continuity through to the target diploma; how non-French speakers are welcomed and how long language acquisition really takes; evening and Wednesday supervision; sport and arts genuinely included; cohort size entering secondary; and the quality of university guidance.
Our method in canton Vaud
Scoping call, child profile, a shortlist of three to five schools, accompanied visits, preparation for tests and interviews, application, then follow-up through the first weeks — which is usually where successful integration is decided.
