“The Ecole provided me with the foundation on which I am building my entire career today.” – A Conversation with Julius Lutz (Student 2010-2016)
How did you experience your time at the Ecole?
The Ecole has shaped my entire youth and made me the person I am today. I had the freedom to grow up in an environment that was not dictated by anyone, allowing me to become who I am today.
What path did you take after leaving the Ecole?
I studied Event Management and pursued a career in this field. Today, I organize events for Yeti Coolers across Europe.
How has your career evolved over time?
Since my career is highly social, I rely heavily on my social battery. I believe I developed this ability at the École, where I learned how to communicate with people respectfully and build not only professional relationships but also lasting friendships. I am still learning every day, but the École provided me with the foundation on which I am building my entire career today.
What makes the Ecole special to you?
I think what makes the Ecole special isn’t just one thing—it’s everything! It’s the mountains, the people, the outdoors, the sports, Singgemeinde, the unique connection between students and teachers, and the freedom to choose your own path. It’s not just a feeling you have while you’re there; even after almost 10 years, I still feel it every time I return.
What is the best piece of advice you would like to give our current students?
Take full advantage of everything the Ecole has to offer! I know a lot has changed since my time there, but embrace the freedom of not constantly being on your phone, of spending time outdoors, playing sports, going on hikes, and forming friendships that will last a lifetime. Be young, enjoy every moment, and make the most of this unique experience. Trust me—once you leave the Ecole, the freedom you have now won’t be the same later!
