Billing schedule, payment terms and refunds

- The initial deposit is required to guarantee the place and is non‑refundable. School fees, boarding charges and any personal‑expense deposits are payable in accordance with an agreed payment plan. A term that has started is due in full. Early departure must be notified in writing at least 30 days before the start of the next term. Payments made in advance are not refunded in the event of early departure, cancellation or expulsion. Unused funds from a personal‑expenses deposit are refunded.

Boarding fees (summary)

- Boarding is offered as 5‑day (weekends not included) or 7‑day (weekends and mid‑term breaks included) options.

Refund information (exceptions and returns)

- The initial admission deposit for the academic year, immersion programmes or camps is non‑refundable and non‑deductible from tuition (amount depends on programme). Payments made in advance will not be refunded in the event of early departure, cancellation or expulsion. Unused funds from a personal‑expenses deposit are refundable. Early departures must be notified in writing 30 days before the next term; any term started is due in full.

Fee payment methods (published detail)

- Published fee materials and the school's application documentation state that fees are payable according to an agreed payment plan and list the required deposits, terms and timing; the publicly posted fee documents for the 2025/26 year do not include a specific list of accepted payment methods (for example: credit card, bank transfer, IBAN) in the fee schedule itself. Payment method details are handled through the school's admissions process and the agreed payment plan.

Other published items and incidental charges

- Private courses and optional activities have published example prices (private music or sports lesson CHF 60/60 min; sport academy week supplements published for camps). Airport transfers, ski packs and sport academy supplements are listed as additional options with example charges in the published materials.

Key published references used for these figures

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.
