Ecole des Arches

ECOLE DES ARCHES, Ch. de Mornex 2-4, Case postale 566, 1001 Lausanne Direction : Christian Hofer
Since its inception in 1985, Arches School has maintained a steady philosophy : fostering autonomy, personnal development and competence for its students. This is made easier thanks to our small groups of about 15 students and our constant attention to care and communication, to which we devote a lot of time. Moreover, for each specific line of studies we create and adapt tools to support our students in their endeavor to discover and learn, about their curriculum and themselves.
The school is controlled by its teaching college.
Arches School teaches according to Maria Montessori method for the youngest (age 3-6 and 6-9). For older students we prepare to admission exams for public schools and their pre-university curriculum. We also offer an IB diploma curriculum (in french) and its swiss equivalent, swiss maturity curriculum. For students interested in information technology studies, we offer a swiss CFC (Federal Certificate of Capacity) in computer studies. The school is very centrally located in Lausanne.
