ENSR / IBSL is a co-educational, private school, operating as a limited, non-profit organisation.

ECOLE: the school provides a privileged setting for the transmission of knowledge.

NOUVELLE: infused with the spirit of innovation and anticipation.

SUISSE ROMANDE: situated in Switzerland's French-speaking region near Lake Geneva (Lac Leman), close to both the Latin and Germanic worlds, the school enjoys a privileged position in the centre of Europe.

Education:The quality of education is guaranteed by respecting the ideas of its founder, Edouard Vittoz, " aim to place value on individuality, by interpreting educational programs with flexibility and promoting joyful collaboration."

The quality of teaching is assured through highly qualified, supportive teachers, committed to establishing a relationship of trust with their students.

The quality of the environment is enhanced by the school's geographical location, overlooking the city of Lausanne and set amongst spacious grounds including numerous sporting facilities.

International vocation: 'a passport to the future' ENSR / IBSL fosters global understanding and multilingualism, through the early introduction of English, followed by German, as well as welcoming non French-speaking students.
