THE ECOLE IMMERSION PROGRAM
ROLLING ACCEPTANCES THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR
IMMERSE YOURSELF:
INTO THE ECOLE STUDENT LIFE
The Ecole d’Humanité’s two-week Immersion Program offers students a meaningful introduction to life at our progressive international boarding school in the Swiss Alps. Designed for curious, engaged young students, the program mirrors the rhythm of a full term: students participate in small, interactive morning classes and spend afternoons exploring creative and physical pursuits such as hiking, blacksmithing, theatre, and visual arts. Living in family-style Swiss chalets with peers and caring faculty members, students experience a strong sense of community and shared responsibility. The program provides a window into the Ecole’s distinctive approach - emphasizing intellectual exploration, personal growth, and a deep connection to nature and others. For parents, it’s a chance to see how the Ecole nurtures independence, self-confidence, and the passion for learning in a safe, supportive environment.
