La Garenne Senior School is a fully accredited International Baccalaureate® World School providing outstanding education for students aged from 14 to 18. We offer the IB Middle Years Programme, the IB Diploma and the La Garenne High School Diploma. Small class sizes favour a personalised approach based on inquiry and investigative learning.
Teaching and learning for senior students takes place at Le Roc, a newly-renovated building just a few steps from the original La Garenne campus. Le Roc has state-of-the-art classrooms, a design studio and a fitness centre. It also hosts a large refectory, libraries, a multi-use Community Floor and modern en-suite accommodation for boarding students.
Our Senior School embodies all the values which have served La Garenne’s students so well for generations. Le Roc is designed to nurture the talents of each student and meet their individual needs. The boarding environment creates the stability and structure for each student to thrive and develop socially within a caring family environment.
