Learning effectively and taking pleasure from it
Swiss and international curriculum
From primary to high school, Chantemerle follows the French program while meeting the Swiss romand (PER) requirements. Chantemerle prepares for the ECRs and for the admission exams to enter Swiss and International high schools.
Building strong foundations
In small classes, in a positive learning environment, our students develop their mathematical and scientific skills while learning to write and read in French. The English and German languages are taught intensively at all levels.

An effective and structured teaching method
Our primary objective is to bring each student to his or her full potential through personal and academic success.
Because we believe that success can be learned, we want to transmit to our students a taste for effort and the pleasure of learning in a rigorous and caring environment.
Chantemerle favours a positive and personalized learning method. It is positive because it aims to reassure the student and to value its progress in a climate of trust. It is personalized because it respects the different learning speeds of the students. The difference is also in learning time management, respect for rules and discipline. Our students learn to learn and to be autonomous and organized – fundamental assets for success, especially when away from home.
While respecting the official curricula, our teaching allows us to acquire the basic knowledge and working methods to study with pleasure, efficiency and autonomy. The effectiveness of our approach is validated by the excellent results we obtain each year at the national and cantonal exams, as well as at admission to Swiss and international high schools.
