Secondary School

Effective preparation for high school

Chantemerle proposes a demanding, comprehensive and internationally recognized programme. Inspired by the French curriculum our programme meets the requirements of the Plan d’Etudes Romand (PER). 

Secondary school students prepare for admission to the Swiss Matura programme. With the support of a career guidance specialist, Chantemerle also assists students in their search for an apprenticeship by preparing them for vocational school entrance tests.

Our students are prepared in the best possible conditions, as demonstrated every year by our excellent results in national and cantonal exams.
