Curriculum
Accredited by NEASC and IBO, Leysin American School (LAS) provides a supportive yet academically challenging environment for students from grades 7-12. Middle School students (grades 7 & 8) begin their academic journey at LAS by developing a toolbox of essential skills and knowledge. Preparatory Students (those in grades 9 & 10) expand interests, embrace new opportunities, and take on leadership roles.
Finally, our program culminates in the Diploma Years (grades 11 & 12). Diploma Years students choose to pursue an IB or US High School Diploma – both programs are uniquely challenging and encourage students to develop their curiosity while simultaneously preparing them for post-secondary success.
