The ENSR boarding school in Switzerland, an extraordinary campus
For 60 young girls and boys from across the world, life in our boarding school is a privileged opportunity to experience an exciting international environment – and a childhood spent in the tranquillity and beauty of Switzerland.
In the middle of a beautiful green space of 2.5 hectares, the main building of the school houses the living spaces established on 3 floors.
The breathtaking view from the rooms across Lac Léman and towards the French and Swiss Alps makes for a unique and inspirational setting.
In this healthy, safe, international environment, students have the space to concentrate on their studies, while their parents appreciate the peace-of-mind that comes from entrusting their children to us.
Switzerland remains an exceptional haven of peace.

A warm, secure and family atmosphere
Students work and live on a daily basis in small cohorts of the same age, under the attentive and caring eye of the Boarding staff.
The staff of the boarding school and the teachers, remain in regular contact with parents. It is their job to ensure permanent, attentive supervision of the living and study spaces.
In addition to the security aspect, their role is also to act as mentors for their students, both in and out of the classroom.
“The older students look after the younger students, and the teachers and house parents look after all the students. So we learn as a big family.”
ENSR Boarding School Student
“Boarding School taught me how to understand people from different cultures, how to communicate with them, and this mindset really helped me in my life now. It’s not only about communicating with people, but it’s also connecting with people.”
Elizaveta Chechetkina – ENSR Alumna
Leisure time
Boarding students have access to a rich variety of cultural, recreational, and sporting activities:
- Personalized coaching is offered through small group classes led by qualified instructors, right on campus.
- Weekends provide the perfect opportunity to explore Switzerland—its culture, traditions, and hidden gems.
- From thrilling ski days, unforgettable snow camps, and exciting winter excursions to summer adventures like windsurfing, every season brings new experiences to enjoy.
“I actually think I have become more responsible after going to boarding school, because before, a lot of the things we do are the decision of your parents, and right now every decision is on your own. I became more independent, I know when to do what and to set my priorities.”
