Le Régent International School
The newest Swiss boarding school, with golf on the doorstep, ski-in access and an international primary school.
The character
Le Régent is what a boarding school looks like when it is designed rather than inherited: bright classrooms, a professional sports set-up, a ski and golf academy and a British-style pastoral system. It attracts families who find the old schools stuffy and want a full IB programme in the mountains.
Good for
Golfers and skiers, families who want modern facilities, younger children
Less suited to
Families who want history and tradition, sixth-formers seeking the deepest academic bench
Getting in
Rolling admissions, interview and assessment; the school is growing and places exist in most years.
What it costs in total
At about CHF 110,000 a year for boarding, the 5 years from 13 to 18 add up to roughly €650,000 in today’s money including typical extras, before fee increases, tutoring and flights. The Education Cost Calculator adds inflation, extras and a second child.
Fees are rounded 2025/26 figures from the school’s own schedule and change every year. The school’s current fee sheet prevails. The picture is an impression of the setting, not a photograph of the campus.
