The Ecole d’Humanité

Learning Beyond the Classroom
At the Ecole d’Humanité, your classrooms overlook stunning mountain peaks, and they open wide to the world around you. Discover the principles of aerodynamics on the ski slope, and gather data for your environmental biology class in the local waterways.
