Why do so many families choose a boarding school in the Swiss Alps rather than a city-based school?
At Préfleuri International Alpine School, we believe nature, individual attention, and a nurturing environment play a key role in a child’s development. Discover the top reasons parents choose Préfleuri, a family boarding school in Switzerland, for young children aged 3 to 13.
Choosing a family-style boarding school in Switzerland means giving your child more than an education — it’s offering them a second home in the Swiss Alps, where learning, nature, and friendship come together in harmony.
Préfleuri’s Forest School brings nature to our students’ doorstep, fostering resilience, teamwork, and a deep respect for the outdoors through hands-on exploration in the Swiss forest and meadows.
The school has excellent connections with our local medical doctors, paediatricians and specialists that can help and advise us regarding any medical problems.
Our all-inclusive Sports programme, Expedition programme, and after school clubs allow opportunities for our students to discover a wide variety of sports and physical activities.
Meal times are an important part of Prefleuri life. It is a moment where we take time to sit together, to savour the food that has been lovingly prepared, and talk about the day.
