Spear’s Review
Situated in the heart of the Alps, Collège Alpin Beau Soleil offers a beautiful environment in which to study.
The combination of a modern campus, traditional but progressive values, an emphasis on laying the foundations for an active life and strong academic results is very attractive, so it’s little wonder that pupils come from more than 50 countries and it boasts some famous, and even royal, alumni. As you might expect, skiing and other adventurous outdoors activities are encouraged but do not detract from classroom achievement. The college offers English and French curriculums.
Head teacher
Principal Stuart White joined the school in 2019. With experience in senior management roles in the UK and China, he most recently served as managing director of the CATS secondary schools in Cambridge.
