The school's objectives are to make young people's eyes shine, to transmit quality knowledge, to develop their creativity, and to create spaces conducive to their development.

Trips (cultural, sports and humanitarian aid), language exchanges, internships, foreign languages (English, Spanish and German), academic courses (history, geography, mathematics...), artistic practices (theater, poetry, exhibitions), manual workshops... The Rudolf Steiner Secondary School develops a "transversal" pedagogical approach for young people. It aims to sharpen intelligence, strengthen confidence, stimulate creativity, take up challenges and reinvent the world of tomorrow.

In order to encourage initiative and individual responsibility, students are encouraged to carry out numerous projects culminating in a final work called a "masterpiece".

Student Council, ping-pong tables, basketball court, outings, youth center, end of year ball, pool table... The school is also a playful space for exchange, sharing and well-being.

As a member of the GESBF (Groupement des Ecoles Suisses préparant au Baccalauréat Français), our school is certified to prepare for the French Baccalaureate. Recognized in Switzerland, in Europe and in the world, the baccalaureate opens up numerous perspectives and opportunities (Read our file on the Bac). As an alternative to the Maturité, it is a recognized springboard for access to higher education in Switzerland and abroad (colleges, universities, hotel schools, EPFL...)

Thinking, studying, researching, imagining, creating, dreaming... Steiner-Waldorf pedagogy develops a global and specific approach because it considers that "each child is unique". It aims to develop the intellectual, artistic, social and manual faculties of each child.
