Founded in 1966 by the Wegmüller family, Chantemerle is an international private school in Blonay, Vaud. The school operates on two campuses: the historic Chantemerle site in Blonay for primary and middle school, and the LémanMaturité extension in Vevey for pre-university classes (Swiss Matura and Cambridge A levels). The programme combines rigorous academic instruction, well-balanced extracurricular activities, and a warm, structured living environment. The continuity of the founders' educational spirit is maintained by Yann Wegmüller as Head of Chantemerle, supported by Anne White-Wegmüller, Katia Stanek-Gora, and a team of experienced teachers and educators.
Chantemerle operates on two sites, Blonay for the primary and middle school and boarding facilities, and Vevey for the LémanMaturité extension housing the high school and Matura programmes. Boarding is available as 5-day or 7-day options, with on-site academic and pastoral care, meals, and a structured daily routine. About half the students are day students, who benefit from on-site supervision, flexible hours, shuttle services, and a rich after-school activity programme. The on-site approach includes digital education and screen-time management guided by a dedicated team, with an on-campus school nurse supporting student 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.
