Christmas Market
Open to everyone, the Christmas market invites you to enjoy a warm and festive day—the result of several months of preparation and hard work by families, students, and faculty.
Crafts, handmade items, activities, and treats: plenty of new discoveries await you throughout the day.
An indoor and outdoor market
The market takes place both inside the school and in the outdoor areas, so everyone can fully enjoy the Christmas atmosphere.
And no matter what the weather is like, we’ve got you covered! In case of rain or extreme cold, the booths welcome you inside heated rooms, while the large hall offers a comfortable, warm place to enjoy a meal.
Activities for Children
Younger visitors can enjoy a variety of activities: a puppet show, the Dwarves’ Cave, and creative workshops will keep the day lively.
Everything you need to get creative, have fun, and immerse yourself in the spirit of Christmas!
Handicrafts and Gift Ideas
About thirty booths showcase crafts and handmade items: Advent wreaths, carded wool decorations, and many other original creations to give as gifts or treat yourself to.
The grocery stand will also offer a variety of specialties made especially for the occasion.
A gourmet break
Every year, nearly 250 hot meals are served, along with crepes, raclette, pizza, roasted chestnuts, and homemade dishes.
For a sweet treat, stop by the Viennese café—run by students in the upper grades—to enjoy some delicious cakes.
