Dear Parents,
At La Côte International School Aubonne (LCIS), every student is part of a community that knows them, believes in them, and challenges them to aim higher than they ever thought possible because we know the most important thing we can give a young person is the belief that they can shape their own future. We nurture that belief every day through outstanding teaching, a caring community, and opportunities that help each student discover who they are and what they can achieve.
Learning at LCIS is engaging, purposeful, and rich with opportunities to explore new interests. Whether through academic challenge, creative expression, sport, or service, students develop curiosity, creativity, and resilience – the qualities they will need to thrive as confident learners and compassionate global citizens. Our personalised approach ensures each child follows a path that is right for them, with the support and stretch to reach their full potential.
Over the years, I have seen what makes our school truly unique: the strength of connection between students, staff, and families, and our shared commitment to combining high academic standards with a nurturing, inclusive environment. Here, students not only achieve excellent results, they also discover their passions, develop a strong sense of self, and leave ready to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
When young people are supported, challenged, and inspired, they flourish – in the classroom, in the arts, in sport, in leadership, and in service to others. We provide the opportunities, guidance, and encouragement that turn potential into reality.
Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions a family can make. At LCIS, you will find a vibrant international community where excellence is a shared responsibility and every student’s journey is unique. We look forward to welcoming you and to shaping the future, together.
