Préfleuri began in 1948 when Willam and Lucienne Bonzon founded a children's home on a small alpine farm, naming it Préfleuri. Madeleine Bonzon, with her husband Vladimir Sékaly, joined in 1969 and expanded capacity to about fifty children. In 1991 Préfleuri was recognized by the Swiss Federation of Private Schools as a language and sports school, with Sylvie Launay joining the team. In 1996 Sylvie Launay-Ducas developed the bilingual academic program. In 2022 a new building with seven state-of-the-art classrooms was completed, and today Préfleuri describes itself as a warm, international family.
Préfleuri has a warm international community with more than twenty nationalities and a teacher-to-student ratio of 1:3. Bilingualism in English and French is assured. The school runs a weekly virtues assembly and a virtue program to foster personal and social development. Wellbeing and life skills are emphasized through a caring, close-knit environment.
Pré Fleuri International Alpine School is a private international boarding school in the Swiss Alps, near Villars-sur-Ollon, set on two hectares at 1,200 metres. It welcomes boarders, flex-boarders and day pupils aged 3 to 13. The school offers a bilingual English–French curriculum designed to support admissions to secondary schools worldwide. In the Early Years (3–5) the UK curriculum runs alongside French curricula, while the British Section (5–13) follows the official UK programme from KS1/KS2 to Year 7 and the French Section (5–13) follows the official French programme from CP to 5ème. Class sizes are small and learning emphasises individual progress. The Swiss Chalet houses classrooms, entertainment spaces and bedrooms, with grounds enabling outdoor learning and sport. Facilities include a pool, tennis court, golf course, football field, basketball and volleyball, table tennis, IT resources and a solar-powered eco shelter. Extra-curriculars include camps, a Forest School, and arts, languages and sports activities.
