School Notes
- 30 Years of Academic Excellence & Innovation- Anne-Marie & Neil Harwood and Grainne & Jean-Louis Dubler dreamt of creating an international bilingual school where children could thrive in two languages in a warm, nurturing Swiss environment.Starting with one class of 13 students in 1993, the directors spent the next 30 years refining that goal and progressing towards achieving the level of outstanding academic excellence and innovation that Haut-Lac demonstrates today. Haut-Lac International Bilingual School is now one of the top 5 IB schools in Switzerland.Our school has nowadays 600+ students including 32 places in the boarding house to ensure the close-knit family feel among the group and secure the personal care and attention.
