International School of Lausanne

The International School of Lausanne (ISL) is a luxury English-language private school located in the village of Le Mont-sur-Lausanne, just north of Lausanne, Switzerland. ISL was established as the English School of Lausanne in 1962, serving the needs of international and local families for an international primary or secondary education.

In 2005 ISL moved from their campuses in Pully into a newly built campus. In September 2015 the school opened a 'South Campus' on adjoining land to facilitate an expansion of the school from approximately 630 students to 900 students. The South Campus, designed by Hannes Ehrensperger of CCHE Architecture et Design SA, doubled the total area of ISL and includes an auditorium with 400 seats. It had a price tag of 46 million francs (US$48 million).

The school offers the complete IB program (PYP, MYP and IBDP) from Reception 3 to Year 13. Tuition fees for the different programmes vary but the average tuition fee is around $40,000(USD) per year.

Accreditation
ISL's (upper) secondary education (Middle and High School) is not approved as a Mittelschule/Collège/Liceo by the Swiss Federal State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI).

Student body
the school has 970 students from 70 countries.
