To think for themselves and to work independently
To foster lasting relationships with their peers
To respect the views and belief of everyone
To serve and support others
To be calm, purposeful and grateful
To prepare themselves fully for life after school
To look after body, mind and spirit through a good balance of rest, relaxation and nourishment

The Core Values which we instil in our students are:

Code of Conduct

Students are accepted at Gstaad International School on the understanding that they make a sincere commitment to pursuing the aims of the school and are able to demonstrate a willingness to achieve the aims at all times.

Responsibility and discipline

Seniority and responsibility are recognised and rewarded with attractive packages. For example, our Upper Sixth students are given the opportunity to share a studio apartment in delightful chalets close to the school.

We work hard to integrate our students with the local culture and environment and we encourage them to respect the country in which they are living. A suitable disciplinary procedure ensures that students develop an appreciation of right from wrong.
