Students are between the ages of 3-18, with a school roll of over 250 pupils across more than 30 different nationalities, supported by more than 40 teachers. It is a member of Nord Anglia Education Schools, a family of 42 international boarding and private schools in 15 different countries around the globe, educating a total of 34,000 pupils throughout all its schools.

The school has its origins in its first school Most-sur-Rolle, a school with seven members of staff teaching 42 pupils.
