French is the primary language of the Swiss Matura programme. English is used for the Cambridge IGCSE/A Level programme. An intensive French integration programme helps international students access the Matura. Language support includes DELF-certification preparation through study abroad and French immersion options.
Chantemerle offers two main pathways. The Swiss Matura is taught primarily in French, with an intensive French integration programme for international students. The Cambridge International pathway is taught in English, preparing students for IGCSE and A Levels, with an English-immersion option for a semester or year.
An English immersion programme is available for a semester or year as part of the Cambridge pathway. The school also offers study abroad and French immersion programmes, including DELF certification preparation. These options provide language development alongside academic study.
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.
