A school where children are happy to come to study, learn and grow.
Founded in 1966 by Mathilde and Jean Wegmüller, Chantemerle is a private and independant boarding and day school located in Blonay in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland.
The spirit and the vision of education of the founders are carried on today by Mrs Anne White-Wegmüller and Mr Yann Wegmüller, directors of Chantemerle, assisted by a team of experienced and dedicated teachers and educators.
Our main purpose is to help every student to reach their potential through personal and academic success.
Our school teaches the importance of a balanced life, family values and the culture of effort. In an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world, we want to pass on to new generations the fundamental values and skills needed to create a sustainable future for all:
Friendship
Effort
Simplicity
Respect
Life skills
Work smart
Adaptability
Autonomy
Our rigorous academic standards are complemented by a rich programme of sports, art and nature activities designed to develop autonomy, self confidence, perseverance and adaptability. Connecting with nature and spending time outdoors remind our students of the importance of simplicity and nature in their lives.
A team of dedicated and experienced educators are present 24/7 to ensure that life at Chantemerle runs smoothly. A school nurse is permanently present at the school and can follow the children in relation to their health. The intelligent and rigorous application of simple community rules contributes to the smooth running of the establishment and its harmony. Chantemerle promotes digital education and screen time management. Digital access is limited and controlled with routines and rules according to age and context.
Most of our rooms have a beautiful lake view and private “en-suite” bathrooms. After classes, students can enjoy the many recreational areas, the terrace and the natural outdoor spaces. Special attention is given to food. Carrying the “Fourchette Verte” quality label, varied and balanced home-made menus cooked from local ingredients are offered.
