​​​​​​​Our Philosophy

At Beau Soleil, we believe it’s what you do that counts. This philosophy holds true both for our students and our staff, from the classroom to the boarding houses, out into our extraordinary alpine environment and way beyond. Whether you a member of our administration or support staff, a teacher or working in one of our boarding houses, we are a school that believes in the power of action, engagement and participation.

Students at Beau Soleil experience a unique holistic education which is built around four core values: Respect, Responsibility, Ambition and Determination. These values underpin all that we do, providing a strong moral compass to our diverse international community, which is made up of students from nearly sixty countries around the world.

Beau Soleil offers curricular programmes in both English and French, following the IMYC, IGCSE, IBDP (English and French) or High School Diploma. Students also participate in a world class programme of service learning, adventure and expeditions, designed to build their personal resilience, character and compassion. Our summer camp programme held in July gives campers the opportunity to gain an insight into an education at Beau Soleil.

Beau Soleil is a member of the Nord Anglia Education group of schools giving staff access to a worldwide network of schools, benefitting from the professional training opportunities of the world’s leading premium schools organisation.

Our Community

As a full boarding school, a supportive and friendly community is at the heart of the Beau Soleil experience for staff and students alike. We believe in growing talent and supporting our staff in their career paths and professional development and training opportunities abound.

Our modern campus offers an exceptional working environment in the heart of Villars-sur-Ollon. With easy access to our beautiful local environment there are outstanding opportunities for skiing in the winter and outdoor pursuits in the summer. All staff are encouraged to actively participate in school life, strengthening the sense of community by sharing the experience of expeditions and challenges, activities and events throughout the year.

Students and staff share a real sense of pride in the school and its achievements: a pride that we hope you will see if you visit us for interview.
