Saint Dominic Savio School is a private international Catholic school in Lausanne offering a French curriculum for children aged 2 to 7. Opened in September 2023, it sits in the Montchoisi district on more than one hectare of green space, with spacious, bright classrooms and daily opportunities for outdoor activity. The school follows an integral education project that builds foundations for lifelong learning through reading, writing and counting in French. Pupils are addressed as 'vous' to promote formal oral language, while English is taught from kindergarten (six hours per week, about 30% of teaching time) and Mandarin weekly from nursery. The Salesian Christian educational approach emphasizes affection, trust and character formation, with daily prayer, liturgical occasions and the life of Dominic Savio shaping school life.
