Located in the heart of Lausanne, École Vinet offers secondary education in the Pre-gymnase track (VP) for grades 9 to 11. This demanding programme develops structured thinking, autonomy, and rigor to effectively prepare students for Gymnase programmes or specialized maturities.
The curriculum, aligned with the Vaud and Romand study plans, supports a smooth transition to upper secondary education within a caring and stimulating environment.
Enriched teaching and attentive support allow each student to progress with confidence and fully develop their potential.
Orientation takes place at the end of grade 8, based on annual results. Students with strong foundations can join the VP track in preparation for Gymnase.
Individualized support helps each student structure their work, adopt effective study methods, and gain the autonomy needed to approach Gymnase with confidence.
At École Vinet, the pedagogy of the Pre-gymnase track meets the high standards of this programme by combining rigor, consistency, and the development of autonomy. The teaching team supports each student through structured lessons, individualized follow-up, and focused work on study methods, organization, and planning.

I am currently studying at the University of Texas in the United States (El Paso), where I have been awarded a scholarship to continue my studies and represent the university’s golf team. I have just completed my first year and am preparing to represent Switzerland at the European Championships for the second consecutive year. The values taught at École Vinet, particularly respect and organization, continue to guide me in both my academic and athletic journey. I am grateful to École Vinet for helping me find the right path for my professional future.
No student was ever left confused if they asked for help. Teachers even went as far as giving extra lessons to satisfy students’ curiosity. École Vinet was one of the best periods of my school life.
I spent 4 years at École Vinet with teachers who were committed 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.
