Contrary to popular belief, intelligence isn’t, in fact, the number one driver of academic achievement. It’s actually self-confidence.

A school community like Champittet may sometimes suffer together, but it always stands together.

It has often been said that “educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” Yet, the question of how to develop a strong moral compass is often brushed aside as schools focus on test scores and academic results. At Collège Champittet, we consider ethics to be inseparable from a well-rounded education.

The idea that barbarism always lurks in the shadows of ignorance, ready to strike when the right conditions are met, has long been a central idea in classical philosophical thought.

A person can change somebody’s day by showing them a little act of kindness – to smile at someone who is in a bad mood can change their whole day!

The start of a new school year is an exciting time for most students. New friends. New routines. New opportunities. But for some children, those first weeks make them feel unsettled and anxious, making an impact on their self-confidence.

By learning to plan their time wisely, students can be more productive, develop great study habits, and create a balanced lifestyle – one that fosters both personal and academic growth. Mastering this essential skill also sets them up for future success.

At Collège Champittet, we’re committed to excellence. And we have been for more than 120 years. Our goal remains the same today as it did the day our doors opened in 1903: to nurture generations of great thinkers, leaders, creators, and change-makers.

Things are continually evolving in the fast-paced world of international education. But against a backdrop of innovation, development, and progress, a few core ideas remain the same. And one of these is the fundamental importance of reading and student literacy. The benefits of reading are indisputable. Reading nurtures our students’ early communication and language skills, laying the foundations for lifelong personal and academic success. Reading encourages concentration and focus, too. A love of literacy also opens doors to the world, igniting imaginations and sparking passions. There are so many benefits of reading – and we cover these in this article.

Forest school - Interview with Sabrina Bäriswyl, Head of Pre-School

Well known to school children, parents and teachers in the Canton of Vaud, Switzerland - JOM day is the “Journee Oser les Métiers,” when people are encouraged bring their children to work with them.

De plus, si la langue évolue constamment sous l’effet des pratiques collectives - ou si elle est parfois artificiellement mue par les fantaisies de l’Académie française...- elle ne sollicite pas, du moins pas tout de suite, l’originalité individuelle des élèves et leur créativité propre : son étude perd ainsi tout attrait et se résume à un acte de mémorisation qui n’a plus bonne presse dans la pédagogie contemporaine.

A study by Dr Glenn Wilson at London’s Institute of Psychiatry in 2005 concluded that constant interruptions can have a similar effect to missing sleep. We have all heard the various estimates of so called ‘concentration’.
