School Director
Unique and prestigious school with a steady cohort in the mountain area close to a ski resort. Day and boarding students from around the world attend the school.
The school encourages students to develop and realize their full potential, both in and out of the classroom. Students have access to learning beyond the classroom walls, we encourage our students to be inquiry-based thinkers and as such we are involved in local and global projects related to sustainability and ecology. We want our students to be happy and safe at school and develop as independent, resourceful, and resilient individuals. Students should leave the school with a love of learning and equipped with the skills needed to succeed at their next step and beyond.
We provide a curriculum that is stretching, relevant and exciting, offer excellent teaching, high expectations and the best standards of behaviour. We expect staff to be positive role models for students and we have high expectations of all who work with us. We are an inclusive school focusing on the well-being and progress of every individual child, including those with additional needs.
If you believe that an all-round education is ideal, that all students can achieve and have a passion for delivering an outstanding education and that you would be able to lead such a school, we would love to hear from you.
