Chantemerle is a private international boarding and day school in Blonay, with a LémanMaturité extension in Vevey, serving ages 6 to 18. The Swiss pathway, taught primarily in French, leads to the Swiss Matura and a bilingual (French–English) version for international students. A French integration option supports non-French-speaking students to access the Matura. The Cambridge International pathway offers IGCSE and A-Levels in English, with an option to join for a semester or a full year as an English-immersion programme. The two campuses—the Blonay site with boarding houses and four-hectare grounds, and the Vevey campus near the train station—provide bright classrooms, study areas, and extensive sports and outdoor spaces. Residential sport and study programmes partner with professional Swiss clubs; language exchange and study-abroad opportunities are offered. Earning the Matura grants Swiss student status and automatic admission to public Swiss universities, including EPFL and ETHZ, and prepares international students for Swiss or global university access.
