LE RÉGENT INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Founded in 2015, Le Régent is a dynamic and fast-growing Swiss boarding and day school with an international academic programme. Approximately 270 students from Switzerland and around the world are educated in a modern campus in the heart of the Valais Alps in the stunning winter and summer resort of Crans-Montana. Le Régent has been under the guidance of Institut Le Rosey (www.rosey.ch) since August 2019.
Le Régent is committed to character education and demanding educational principles. Class sizes are small, language options strong and most graduates speak at least two languages fluently. Le Régent follows a rigorous academic programme in English in preparation for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme and for its own diploma, the Régent Graduation Diploma (RGD).
In addition to academics, we nurture each student’s unique talents through diverse extracurricular programmes, including sports, arts, music and mountain activities. Understanding who our students are today is paramount but equally important is empowering them to envision their future selves and their potential to impact the world around them positively. This shared commitment to student wellbeing and development lies at the heart of our mission.
As a boarding school that welcomes day students, the successful candidate will have the positive outlook required to actively be part of a vibrant boarding community and provide a positive presence in the school. In particular, the candidate will have the drive to foster a love of learning allied with high academic standards.
Le Régent is an Eco-School, a CIS member, and an official examination centre for the IB Diploma Programme, DELF, SATs, IELTS and Edexcel IGCSEs.
RECRUITMENT PROCEDURES
We reserve the right to appoint the right candidate ahead of the closing date. Appointment to take effect from 6 January 2025.
Applications should be through the TES website.
Le Régent is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Applicants will therefore need to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post.
UK APPLICANTS
UK nationals should be aware that regulations to obtain a work permit are both lengthy and considerably tighter for third-state (such as the UK) nationals than they are for most Europeans. Although it is possible that we will appoint a UK national, preference will be given to candidates possessing a Swiss residence permit or an EU/EFTA passport.
