Dukes Education

Verbier International School is proud to be part of Dukes Education, one of the leading families of schools in the UK and internationally.

Dukes Education brings together a diverse network of exceptional schools, each with its own identity, culture, and strengths, united by a shared commitment to educational excellence, student wellbeing, and preparing young people for successful futures.

As a member of the Dukes family, Verbier International School retains its unique alpine character while benefiting from the expertise, resources, and opportunities that come from being part of a global educational community.

Opportunities for Students

Being part of Dukes Education opens doors beyond the classroom and beyond Verbier.

VIS students have access to a wide range of collaborative events, competitions, and enrichment opportunities across the Dukes network. These include academic symposiums, subject-specific conferences, leadership events, Olympiads, debating competitions, sporting fixtures, and creative arts showcases.

Students can connect with peers from schools across Europe and beyond, broadening their perspectives, developing international friendships, and gaining valuable experiences that enrich their educational journey.

Through initiatives such as the Dukes Symposium, students are encouraged to engage with real-world challenges, share ideas, and develop the confidence to contribute to an increasingly interconnected world.

Opportunities for Staff

Our teachers and support staff benefit from being part of a wider professional community dedicated to continuous improvement and educational innovation.

Dukes Education provides extensive professional development opportunities, including leadership programmes, specialist training, collaborative projects, conferences, and access to best practice from across the group.

This culture of shared expertise allows our staff to continue developing their skills while ensuring that VIS students benefit from the latest educational thinking and teaching approaches.

As part of an international network of schools, VIS is able to attract and recruit outstanding educators from around the world.

The strength of the Dukes community enables schools to share talent, expertise, and experience, helping us maintain the highest standards of teaching, learning, and pastoral care.

Dukes Plus

Students at VIS also benefit from Dukes Plus, an extensive programme of enrichment opportunities designed to complement academic learning.

Through expert-led talks, competitions, workshops, university preparation resources, leadership initiatives, and specialist programmes, Dukes Plus helps students explore their interests, develop new skills, and prepare for future success.

A Global Community with a Personal Approach

While Verbier International School remains proudly rooted in the Swiss Alps, our partnership with Dukes Education strengthens our global outlook and expands the opportunities available to our students and staff.

Together, we combine the personalised experience of a close-knit international school with the resources, connections, and expertise of one of the world’s leading educational groups.
