Co-educational boarding and day school for children aged 12-20

At Institut «La Gruyère», we have always had an international outlook, favouring open-mindedness and cultural understanding. Every year we welcome more than 80 students, aged 12-20, from over 15 countries. A total of 8-10 classes ensure the maintenance of a personalised high standard of teaching. Half of our students are boarders. Girls and boys have different living quarters and are well supervised. Life in the boarding house is a carefully balanced mix of study, sports and cultural activities. There is a school bus every morning from Bulle, the nearest town, for the day students. They can also have lunch and an afternoon snack at school, attend the afternoon study periods and take advantage of most sporting activities offered to the boarders.

L'Institut La Gruyère se situe au cœur de la Suisse

Life at the Boarding House

To focus on total development, we ensure that each student is enriched with the opportunity to grow intellectually, physically and emotionally.

Studies

Boarding life is structured around the school programme and at least three hours of supervised study a day. During these hours, teachers are always available to provide extra help if required. Specific courses can be set up during the year to provide for individual needs. We can also organise music lessons for beginners or more advanced musicians.

Sport

School and study hours are complemented by daily sporting activities in addition to well-deserved leisure time.

On the school grounds we have tennis, table tennis, basketball and volleyball facilities. A wide range of other sports facilities are at our disposal in the surrounding region of Gruyère, including football, squash, badminton, swimming, horse-riding, wind-surfing, gym, golf and mountain biking.

In winter, skiers and snowboarders are just 15 minutes away from the nearest slopes and their favourite sport. On weekends, trips are organised to ski resorts such as Gstaad, Villars-sur-Ollon, Les Portes du Soleil, Verbier and Crans-Montana.

THE SCHOOL WORKS EVERYDAY TO:

Créer et développer un esprit de travail et d'étude chez chaque élève

 - create and develop a spirit of work and study in each student.

 - organise cultural and extra-curricular activities (conferences, theatre, shows and trips) to complement the teaching given in class.

- provide a quality of teaching that meets the needs of each student in a structure that is on a human scale. This tends to stimulate the intellectual curiosity of the students and helps them to become eco citizens who are respectful of the environment.

- maintain and develop an excellent quality to all the services provided to the students: catering, cleaning, transport, utilities, administration and security.

- develop and maintain a quality community life by encouraging the spirit of openness, respect and well-being.

- implement a quality management system in the context of continuous improvement.

- organise individual and team sports activities so the students have a healthy lifestyle.

- hire competent staff and value their professional roles.
