Beau Soleil is a private international boarding school in Villars-sur-Ollon, Switzerland, serving students aged 11–18. It offers the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) for Grades 6–10 and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (DP) for Grades 11–12, with the option of a US High School Diploma. The MYP curriculum spans eight subject groups and develops subject knowledge, global understanding, and essential skills and values. In Grades 11–12, students may pursue the IBDP (available in English, French, or bilingual form) or the US diploma; the IBDP core comprises Theory of Knowledge, Extended Essay, and Creativity, Activity, Service. The school sits on an alpine campus with specialist arts, design, and music spaces, extensive sporting facilities, and The Hub, a design-technology and filmmaking centre. An English faculty supports multilingual study, and many students graduate with a bilingual IB diploma after studying up to three languages. The Global Campus links Beau Soleil to Nord Anglia Education and partners such as The Juilliard School, MIT, and UNICEF for arts, STEAM, and international development. Founded in 1910, Beau Soleil joined Nord Anglia Education in 2011. The Winter Programme and a broad activity slate enhance outdoor and co-curricular learning.
