About Our School

La Côte International School is a Nord Anglia Education day school offering premium education in Switzerland to students between the ages of 2 and 18.  Established in 2008, the campus has almost 400 students from 30 nationalities.  The school enjoys an outstanding reputation amongst parents and the wider community and our dedicated team of teachers and school administrators help support our growing and thriving student community.

Constructed in 2014, our campus in Aubonne is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and technology.  Our peaceful location near farmland gives students the opportunity to be involved in healthy, safe and nurturing outdoor play and educational activities.

Our international educational offer is built on the English National Curriculum, with a strong ability-band based bilingual French programme in the Early and Primary years; the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme; IGCSE General Certificate of Secondary Education and IB Diploma Progarmme in the Secondary school.

In 2016 we launched a new English-French Swiss maturity bilingual option which is currently available to students aged 10 to 13.

As part of the Nord Anglia Education family of premium schools, our outstanding team of over 60 professionals implements the High Quality learning approach to teaching.  This approach, combined with our culture of mutual respect, tolerance, care and support, ensures that every child can thrive.
