Ecole d'Humanite

The Ecole d’Humanité is a bilingual international boarding school situated in the heart of the Swiss Alps. 120 Students and 40 teachers from over 20 different countries live together here in a dynamic community overflowing with academic, artistic, practical, athletic, and social opportunities. We get to know each other from all sides: a math teacher might also be a hike leader, an Ecole family head, a climbing instructor, and the supervisor of a community service group, and will herself experience students in as many roles. Whether modeling projectile motion in a calculus based physics class or performing in the annual Shakespeare play, summiting a 4000 meter peak or hammering red hot iron on a giant anvil, Ecole students actively pursue their passions in a setting that is both challenging and liberating. "The sheer physical beauty of the place, together with an atmosphere fostering cooperation and curiosity, make the Ecole d'Humanité an oasis in an aggressive world. My time at the Ecole better taught me how to play with others and work on my own." Paul Wallfisch, former student, Music Director of the Dortmund City Theater, singer and keyboardist with the band Botanica.
