About Copperfield Verbier
In any school, one has a feel for what the community focuses on. This can be the school’s league table placing for exam results, places at top universities, the school’s prestige, comfortable life for the staff, or profitability for the owners.
Copperfield’s focus is the community itself: creating strong links between students, staff, parents and the broader community within which the school rests. This is because we understand that schools are uniquely positioned in any community, responsible for supporting children to become adults. Therefore, a school must serve its community and its students.
Only through service can leadership arise, and all other educational goals flow from and depend upon the school’s leadership position. This is a huge challenge and requires transparency, humility and patience. And it requires the school to role-model self-acceptance: recognising that we are all imperfect, all doing our best to be happy, and aiming to improve a little more each day.
