Founded in 1910, College Alpin International Beau Soleil is a prestigious bilingual boarding school in Villars-sur-Ollon, Switzerland, for students aged 11 to 18.

The campus, set in the Swiss Alps, combines historic architecture with modern facilities, including classrooms, arts spaces, and athletic infrastructure. Students reside in six fully-equipped residences, primarily in double rooms, under 24/7 supervision. The school provides a full-board dining service with diverse international cuisine.
Academics are delivered in small classes in English and French, culminating in strong results; the 2022 IB cohort achieved a 100% pass rate with an average score of 34. Extracurricular life is vibrant, with more than 90 clubs and annual expeditions ranging from local cultural trips to international adventures.
Admission is competitive, requiring academic records, a motivation letter, and an interview. Applications are advised a year in advance due to limited space.
