Neuchâtel Junior College (NJC) offers a Canadian curriculum-based international high school program in Neuchâtel, Switzerland.

The program is a pre-university year with small classes and a supportive learning environment, and it supports admission to Canadian, US and international universities. It emphasizes international immersion and French-language exposure by living with Swiss hosts and travel integrated into the curriculum. The founder Leonard Wilde believed, “To be a leader today, one must travel the world,” guiding the travel-embedded program. Facilities include a Neuchâtel campus on Lake Neuchâtel; the Ontario Diploma is complemented by a university guidance team offering one-on-one and group support. The Dr. Daniel Andreae Scholarship for Community Engagement provides CAD 30,000 toward tuition for 2026–27 for qualified, globally eligible applicants.
