Welcome to Gstaad International School in Switzerland

Situated in the stunning village of Gstaad overlooking the Swiss Alps, Gstaad International School specialises in the provision of an exclusive, high quality boarding school education, set within a unique and nurturing family environment.


We succeed in educating our students for life through combining academic excellence with an outstanding range of opportunities beyond the classroom.  Our focus is firmly on ensuring an all-round education.  The breadth of our rigorous curriculum, tailored to individual student needs, challenges the mind.  Meanwhile, the world-class local sporting facilities, ranging from ski slopes and cross country tracks to tennis, football and swimming, stretch the body, and our programme of extra-curricular activities and trips develops students’ cultural understanding and leisure pursuits. The combination of focused academic work with fresh Alpine air and exercise achieves a sense of balance and well-being which invigorates and inspires our students to achieve their full potential.

Here in this beautiful corner of Switzerland, our aim is to enable our young men and women to become leaders in their chosen professions and be of good influence in the world.  Their education at Gstaad International School and the long-lasting friendships our students make will remain a strong support in meeting the challenges of adult life. I hope that our website will give you an insight into life here at Gstaad International School.  Don’t forget to visit our Facebook page  for all the latest news.  A visit is the best way to understand why our students and their families have made Gstaad International School such an important part of their lives. If you would like to see the school for yourself, please contact us to schedule a visit and receive your warm welcome to Gstaad and Switzerland.
