Official calendars: examples in Blonay and Vevey
Checked on 25 October 2026 — these dates apply only to the 2026–2027 academic year, not the 2027–2028 intake. Chantemerle, Blonay: classes start on 1 September 2026 at 08:00; the school year ends with the closing ceremony on 18 June 2027 at 16:00, according to the official calendar. LémanMaturité, Vevey: the official school calendar marks 24 August 2026 as the start of term. These are class dates, not application deadlines or boarding arrival times. No fixed application deadline was verified on the admissions pages reviewed. For international applicants, LémanMaturité recommends completing enrolment at least two months before classes, ideally three to four months beforehand: this is preparation guidance, not a guarantee of a place. For 2027–2028, obtain the confirmed calendar, availability and boarding arrival date from the school before booking. These Riviera examples do not apply to other Swiss schools. Follow the official links below for holidays and updates. Travel: check SNCF Connect, TGV Lyria and SBB for your dates. Chantemerle is at Chemin de Chantemerle 7, 1807 Blonay; LémanMaturité lists Rue de Fribourg 6, 1800 Vevey. With boarding via Chantemerle, the boarding and teaching locations are separate. Allow for connections and the final transfer; no fixed journey time is guaranteed.
Types of boarding schools around Strasbourg
In Grand Est you will find state high-school boarding, state-contracted private boarding schools (often Catholic), independent schools and a few bilingual or international schools. State boarding places are limited and allocated on application; private schools select on file and interview.
Why also look at Switzerland?
For travel to a Swiss boarding school, check SNCF Connect and SBB timetables for your dates. Allow for the full journey to school, connections and any arrangements for a minor. Trips home also depend on the boarding school’s calendar and rules.
What budget to expect
As a guide, state boarding costs a few thousand euros a year, contracted private boarding often €6,000–15,000 a year, and Swiss boarding schools around CHF 50,000–100,000 a year. Exact fees vary: we check them with you for each school.
