"Un énorme merci pour tout votre travail. Je suis encore impressionnée par tout votre engagement ainsi que les activités et spectacles proposés!! Cela change tellement de l'école publique Suisse...c'est un soulagement de voir mes deux enfants épanouis à nouveau à école, de retrouver leur humour habituel et leur caractère d'avant, MERCI!!!
Rien de pire que de voir ses enfants malheureux et incompris au quotidien... En 2 semaines seulement auprès de votre institution, tout a changé et cela est indescriptible pour nous.
Les évaluations des enseignants... c'est bien la première fois que je vois cela: comprendre l'être et comment il fonctionne, sans jugements absurdes et infondés. J'avais perdu espoir de voir cet enseignement-là, basé sur la bienveillance et de l'encouragement! Le spectacle des P5, d'une longueur impressionnante, de plusieurs mois de travail, de l'engagement de tous, c'est juste magnifique! Cela n'existe plus ailleurs..."

"My son had an amazing time at Haut-Lac. The last 3 years he enjoyed going to school, loved to learn and apprehend new concepts, experience a variety of new things and he made good friends. He loved the international community, kids coming from different countries, he LOVED his teachers (in every year), the classmates, he had fun and learned in a playful manner, and I am thankful and grateful to every Haut-Lac staff member for the hard work to teach and to educate my little one, show patience when needed, and immensely appreciate the support given to us. My son has been very happy at Haut-Lac and is sad to leave. So am I. Thank you!"

"I would like to thank you for the splendid experience my daughter has had at Haut-Lac.
She came back expressing that it is one of the best decisions we have made for her. Also, we found a more mature and grown up young lady, so mission accomplished!"

"Haut-Lac has been an anchor for us here-providing a rhythm and routine for life, friends for all of us, and an immediate welcome and connection. The school and teachers will be impossible to replace! We have found a French/English bilingual school that the boys will both attend. Thanks to the amazing care they have received at Haut-Lac, they are more than ready to jump into the life and routine of the new school. We cannot say enough how important the school has been in our journey. It feels as though we arrived with babies and are leaving with BOYS."

"Mon fils avait fait toute sa scolarité aux US jusqu’en 2017. Après sa première année à l’école Ardévaz, voyant qu’il ne s’en sortait pas, il envisageait de laisser tomber le gymnase et de s’orienter plutôt dans la voie d’un apprentissage. C’est alors que j’avais contacté Haut-Lac afin qu’il puisse poursuive ses études en anglais et vous l’avez accueilli à bras ouverts! Il a été cadré et guidé par des professeurs qualifiés et super, dans un cadre idyllique. Grâce à vous il a pu obtenir son IB ce qui lui permet de poursuivre ses études à l’Ecole hôtelière de Glion. Je souhaite que vous puissiez continuer à guider pendant de très longues années des garçons et des filles, comme vous l’avez fait pour mon fils."

"L’école est notre centre gravitationnel. Ici nous avons connu nos amis, nous avons partagé des moments après l'école et nous avons reçu le cadeau d’une formation bilingue pour notre fille. Les enseignants font partie de notre famille durant toute cette magnifique étape. Nous vous remercions pour le temps dédié à notre fille."

"It is not easy to say goodbye to the place which has been our home and formed who we are, in these strange circumstances. However, myself and the class of 2020, deeply appreciate the effort made to acknowledge our time at school. Haut-lac is not just a school or a community, but a family, and that is why we are not saying “goodbye", but rather "see you soon!""

"I had no idea what to expect for the leaving assembly but it ended up being a really positive and heartwarming experience to see all of my classmates and teachers together to celebrate our year group.
I was only in Haut-Lac for three years but I know that the connections I have made and friendships I have found will last much longer than that. I feel like I've been here forever but somehow that isn't long enough and I'm not quite ready to leave yet!"

"As Haut-Lac students we’ve always been taught to adapt and therefore the virtual leaving assembly was a great example of how everyone pulled together and adapted under difficult circumstances. After 14 years at Haut-Lac, it is extremely difficult to finish school in a virtual way and therefore the day was very emotional. I sincerely hope that I will get the chance to say goodbye properly to all my teachers and my classmates."

"Haut-Lac helped greatly for my first year at university. It was much more difficult than the schooling that I am currently taking, which is great It prepared me for the world."

"Haut-Lac definitely helped prepare me for the next step. If it wasn’t for the Film course I completed, I would feel very behind my chosen course. Also, just generaly, school helps you be able to comunicate with a large number of people at once, which is very important in the field I will be getting into."
