The school offers the Swiss Matura programme taught primarily in French and the Cambridge IGCSE and A Level pathway in English. The Cambridge pathway includes the option to join for a semester or a full year as part of an English immersion programme, and is well suited to athletes or performing artists who require flexibility to train while studying. Earning the Matura diploma grants Swiss student status and automatic admission to public Swiss universities, including EPFL and ETHZ, with international recognition for higher education.
Chantemerle offers tailored language exchange programmes and a study-abroad experience in Switzerland. Students gain confidence in French and can prepare for DELF certifications. Studying abroad for a term or year provides a validated school-year programme, strengthens university applications, and offers immersion in Swiss culture.
Residential Sport and Study Programmes are offered in partnership with professional Swiss league clubs and academies, allowing student-athletes to pursue sport at a high level while following an official academic programme (Swiss Matura or Cambridge IGCSE/A Level). The programmes emphasize balancing sport with academics. The Summer Camp 2026 invites students to learn languages, discover Switzerland, and enjoy a wide range of sports and outdoor activities.
Chantemerle is built around a healthy and balanced lifestyle in a natural setting overlooking Lake Geneva. The school emphasizes a healthy daily routine and offers a range of sports and outdoor activities as part of its programmes. Forest walks are highlighted as beneficial for mood, focus, and health.
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.
