Will my child be housed with other children their age? Yes, students will live in dorms with and among students who are in the same age and gender group as them.   Are siblings/friends allowed to room together? No. At LAS Summer in Switzerland, we have many children from around the world who are away from home for the first time. Part of the summer experience is learning to mix with children from different cultures—an important and enjoyable part of our program. The Summer Director will consider rooming requests only in exceptional circumstances.    Will you let children who speak the same language room together? No. We always separate children who speak the same language in order to encourage them to communicate with their roommates in English.   Do you have a laundry service or does my child have to do his/her own laundry? At LAS Summer in Switzerland, students learn independence by doing their own laundry. All students, including our youngest, are given the help and guidance they need to learn how to wash, dry, and iron their clothing.   Does my child have to bring bed linen? No, LAS Summer in Switzerland provides fresh linens during the session.   Does the school provide towels? Students have to bring their own bath and beach towels.   What if my child is sick? There is a Health Center in the main school building with nurses who live on campus and are on-call 24 hours a day. If a doctor is required, there is a clinic situated in Leysin less than 5 minutes from our school. The doctor is qualified to treat patients in most emergencies. The nearest hospital is in Rennaz, 35 minutes from school.

About

Have the Summer of a Lifetime at LAS Summer in Switzerland!

Since 1949, LAS Summer in Switzerland has offered an incredible residential summer experience at our beautiful campus in the Swiss Alps. Our program combines all the elements of an incredible summer camp, and students from all over the world connect in a safe and supportive alpine community as they enjoy classes, clubs, and exceptional summer activities.  Switzerland is their playground, and our weekend excursions allow our summer students to take advantage of the best that our incredible country has to offer.

In the morning, students choose one of three tracks: Language Acquisition (French or English), Leadership Courses, or Enrichment Courses.
In the early afternoon, students choose one of the following incredible clubs: Team Sports, Visual Arts, Robotics and Programming, Performing Arts, Hiking and Climbing, Cooking and Baking, and Tennis.

In the late afternoon, students choose an afternoon activity.  We offer so many activities that students can choose something different every day and never do the same thing twice! From horseback riding to ice skating, this is a great time for students to try something new!
Every weekend of our summer program offers a delightful blend of exploration, relaxation, and cultural immersion, perfect for recharging and experiencing the wonders of Switzerland and beyond!

In 2024, each session features two special city excursions. The first is a trip to a charming Swiss city – Bern in Session 1, Geneva in Session 2. The second excursion is an international journey, taking you to Annecy, France in Session 1, and Aosta, Italy in Session 2. These trips offer opportunities for sightseeing, souvenir shopping, engaging activities, enjoying a meal out, spending quality time with friends, and more.

Most of our students say that living with other students and making new friends from around the world is their favorite part of summer school.

LAS Summer allows students to make lifelong friendships with peers from all around the world! Join us, and see why so many of our campers return year after year! Contact summer@las.ch to learn more.
