ABOUTOur Approach to Learning

We believe in a holistic education that develops not only our students’ knowledge of academic subjects, but also the transferable skills required to succeed in the modern world.

With programmes offered bilingually, in English only and in French only, we equip our students for their future and give them all the options they need to make the most of their learning journey.

This includes providing over 150 extra-curricular activities to help nurture our students’ talents, and enhance our local and international school programmes with exciting experiences in and out of the classroom.

ABOUTHolistic Education

We not only encourage our students to do their best academically, but also nurture their physical and creative talents by:

  • Enhancing their learning experience with the right tools, facilities and resources
  • Encouraging multiple interests and talents with numerous extra-curricular activities
  • Building trusting relationships between students and their teachers to help them set individual targets together, share success criteria and develop peer and self-assessment
  • Fostering a growth mindset, a willingness to explore new opportunities and a desire to excel

ABOUT

ABOUTLifelong Learning

We help students to reinforce their interpersonal skills and adopt a positive outlook conducive to lifelong learning.

By acquiring qualities such as curiosity, analytical reflection and an understanding of the importance of teamwork and sharing, our students grow into independent, self-disciplined, methodical, flexible and open-minded learners, who are aware of their personal responsibility to help develop a more sustainable world.

A deep sense of pride, passion and belonging emanates from every student, teacher, classroom, lesson and language spoken in our local and international private school.

ABOUTOur Local & International School Progammes

Our skills-integrated, balanced, creative, well-resourced, relevant and enriching international curricula (Learning Means the World, IBMYP, IBDP, IBCP, Swiss Option, US High School Diploma) enable us to develop programmes that best suit our students’ needs.

They are taught using various teaching approaches that cater for different learning styles, and encourage hands-on learning, interdisciplinary working, investigation, problem-solving, critical thinking and ongoing reflection.

Technology is also used across all subjects in such a way as to highlight the importance of being a responsible digital citizen.

ABOUTSTUDENT SUCCESS

Success is a daily occurrence at Haut-Lac. From the little things like making a peer smile or presenting a captivating presentation to the major like winning gold in a ski race or obtaining the IB Diploma, we celebrate it all.

Why? Because it gives the students confidence. The confidence to keep going, to keep learning and to keep trying new things so that they can improve and succeed whatever happens. Like our Class of 2020 and 2021 graduates, who had to contend with a pandemic in the midst of their IBDP studies and still achieved 100% pass rates.

And our many graduates who are now pursuing exciting, professional careers around the globe.
