The same vision since 1966
For three generations, Chantemerle school has remained true to the educational vision established by its founders, Mathilde and Jean Wegmüller: guiding every student towards their full academic and personal potential.
Today, this vision is carried forward by Yann Wegmüller, Director of Chantemerle, together with Anne White-Wegmüller, Katia Stanek-Gora, and a dedicated team of experienced teachers and educators who share the same commitment to every student’s success.
A school in the spirit of Switzerland
Chantemerle is built on the values that define the very essence of Switzerland.
Traditional
Guided by our founders’ principles of common sense, simplicity and effort, we provide a safe, healthy and balanced environment where students develop confidence, character and independence.
Personalised
With a carefully selected intake (60% of Swiss students) and a close-knit boarding community, Chantemerle offers an authentic Swiss experience and personalised guidance for every student.
Efficient
By focusing on official prestigious diplomas, the Swiss matura in English and the A levels in English, Chantemerle combines strong academic results with excellent value for money.
5-day or 7-day boarding solutions
Boarding solutions
Chantemerle offers 5- or 7-day boarding options, as well as flexible boarding arrangements. Boarding students live on campus, where they study, dine, and participate in a structured educational environment.
The boarding programme provides a safe and supervised setting, with daily routines, educational support, and communal life that foster autonomy, responsibility, respect for rules, and personal development.

A programme that meets the needs of local families
About half of our students live in the area and study at Chantemerle as day students. Day students fully benefit from the structure of our boarding programme together with the boarding students:
Full on-site academic and pastoral care at the school with flexible hours from 7:30am to 6:30pm
Healthy and tasty home-cooked meals and snacks
Supervised studies and assistance with homework on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday
A rich and balanced after-school activity programme (sport, art and nature)
The pick-up and drop-off of students can be arranged with our own shuttle buses (Blonay, Montreux, Vevey). The intelligent and rigorous application of simple community rules contributes to the efficient and organised running of the establishment and its harmony.
Chantemerle promotes digital education and screen time management. Digital access is controlled on the school premises. A team of dedicated and experienced educators guarantees a healthy, well-balanced and safe environment. Our on-campus school nurse follows the students in relation to their health.
One school, two campuses, two experiences
Chantemerle school is located on two sites.
Blonay
The historic Chantemerle site in Blonay
The historic site hosts the primary and middle school classes as well as the boarding facilities, in an exceptional natural setting overlooking Lake Geneva. Bright classrooms, 2- or 3-bed rooms, sports facilities and four hectares of green spaces make it a place for living as much as studying.
