Collège Champittet was established in 1903 by French Dominican priests as a Catholic boarding school for boys. In 1951, leadership passed to the Canons of Grand-Saint-Bernard. The school became co-educational in 1984, and in 1998 secular entrepreneurs modernised its leadership. The French Baccalaureate was added to the Swiss Maturité in 1999, and the Nyon Campus opened in 2004, increasing the student body. In 2006, a fully bilingual, flexible curriculum was introduced, and in 2009 the college joined Nord Anglia Education, launching the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. The school pioneered education technology in 2012, launched the Forest School programme in 2020, and in 2023 the community celebrated 120 years of learning.
Collège Champittet has a long-standing, international community spanning more than 120 years and includes students, families, and staff. The school emphasizes a truly bilingual, globally minded environment, with testimonials highlighting its international character and language opportunities. It is part of the Nord Anglia Education family, enriching the community through collaboration and shared resources. The Pully Campus is located by Lake Geneva, near Geneva and Zurich by train, and boarding facilities provide a home away from home for students.
