A warm student-centred school in the heart of Lausanne

École Vinet welcomes a limited number of students to ensure high-quality support and a close, personal relationship with each child. Located in the very center of Lausanne, the school is easily accessible by public transport while preserving a warm, family-oriented, and secure atmosphere. Its human scale encourages strong bonds among students, teachers, and families—faces are familiar, needs are better understood, and trust is strengthened.

Discover how this close-knit environment translates into personalized academic guidance, carefully tailored to each student’s individual needs.

A nurturing environment for every child to flourish

Small class sizes

Each student’s progress is carefully monitored through personalized support.

Bright and welcoming facilities

Spacious, light-filled classrooms, a multipurpose hall, and equipment suited to every level.

A constructive and respectful environment

Kindness and respect are central pillars of the school’s culture.

Activities that build connections among students

Throughout the year, students take part in outings and collaborative projects that enrich school life, foster a strong sense of community, and cultivate trust—such as charity runs, themed days, and cultural excursions.

At lunchtime, a variety of activities cater to every interest: multisport sessions, occasional craft workshops, friendly tournaments, library-based reading activities, and more. These supervised moments provide a structured, welcoming, and stimulating environment, encouraging both relaxation and social interaction—all completely phone-free.

I spent 4 years at École Vinet with teachers who were dedicated to giving us the best opportunities in an atmosphere that was always caring. I don’t think I would be living my passion today if I hadn’t completed an important part of my schooling there.

As a student, I particularly appreciated the teachers who always took the time to help us understand our weaknesses. As an adult, you realize that Vinet is more than a school; it is a place where we grew up and learned to be ourselves.

I keep a bright memory of my years at École Vinet. There, I found inspiring and passionate teachers. They nurtured in me the pleasure of exercising my curiosity, which remains today the foundation of my work as a film director.
