OUR VISION

To inspire our community to be responsible global citizens in an ever-changing world.

OUR MISSION

The mission of La Garenne International School is to prepare students from around the world to become independent, international-minded young people. We promote traditional Swiss values of open-mindedness, responsibility, innovation, empathy, and respect. We strive to nurture each learner's talents, meeting their individual needs and aspirations.

OUR CORE AIMS

CARE

Give each student personalised attention with empathy and understanding to help keep them happy, motivated and healthy as they progress towards adulthood.

RESILIENCE
Promote strategies to adapt, recover, and grow in the face of challenges. Students step out of their comfort zone and learn never to give up.

BE HAPPY AND NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP

IMPACT
Prepare students to make a difference to themselves and to the world through community service and peer support, giving them the tools for self-reflection, aspiration and personal growth.

CURIOSITY
Make inquiry central to our teaching and learning so that students become lifelong learners, never ceasing to critically investigate, question, and analyse.

UNLEASH YOUR TALENTS, INSPIRE THE WORLD

OUR MOTTO

We use the phrase “Be Happy and Never, Never, Never Give Up” to encourage wellbeing, effort and resilience in all aspects of life for all members of the school community.
