Building on a rigorous academic framework designed by the International Baccalaureate Organization, our faculty pulls from the latest pedagogy to develop a fully aligned curriculum that is assessed externally by the IB and the Council for International Schools. The school reviews its curriculum annually using data from both external and school-based assessments, incorporating changes as suggested by the latest research, the International Baccalaureate and the Council of International Schools.
 
The core values of Lausanne’s community provide a balanced learning experience for each student, academically, emotionally, and socially.
At Lausanne, we always strive to be better tomorrow than we are today. With thoughtful and intentional planning, improvements are made to the campus every year.
Knowing that a Lausanne education is best experienced through in-person relationships, we have been happy to have faculty and students on campus for the 2020–2021 and 2021–2022 school years.
We are happy to offer on-campus and virtual tours and look forward to helping you gain a better understanding of the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum.

Lausanne Voices

"Lausanne was an opportunity for me to see I was capable of more than I thought, and it’s because of the teachers, coaches, and faculty. I’ve carried the lessons I’ve learned from them since graduating and I credit the relationships I made at Lausanne a lot for my success."
Yagmur Onder '20
"My time at Lausanne taught me the lure of pushing my limits. I am beyond happy to have been surrounded by people at Lausanne that always encouraged me to learn as much as I could, both in and out of the classroom."
Damla Onder '20
"My time on campus opened many doors for what turned out to be a very successful career. Lausanne offers students opportunities that many schools do not. I was more than happy to take advantage of those."
Joan Dutcher Jeanrenaud ’73
"One of my favorite things about Lausanne was the proud and time-honored traditions that we celebrated each year. Traditions at Lausanne enhanced my academic experience  and had me searching for those same kinds of connections in my life post-Lausanne."
Dr. Justine Okerson '01
"My experience at Lausanne was excellent, and I consider it a big part of my journey. I am grateful for my time at Lausanne and I credit it for where I am today."
Melissa Goodwin Shepherd '98
"My years at Lausanne played a fundamental role in my academic success at the Naval Academy. I was a member of the full diploma IB program at Lausanne, which challenged my time management skills early. I learned how to balance taking these rigorous courses, while also participating in multiple sports on campus. The teachers at Lausanne always challenged me to take myself to the next level and that served me well throughout my college years."
