VIS is located in the heart of the beautiful village of Verbier. The school is based in two different buildings: Chalet Mascotte and Chalet Orny. The school was founded in 2011 and has grown progressively without losing its family focused ethos and focus on outdoor education. The school is distinct in that it offers year-round education but also welcomes students and families exclusively for the Winter term. VIS also offers boarding throughout the year, a Winter term experience, as well as weekly and flexiboarding.
Mission statement
The school
Primary
Our primary school building, Chalet Mascotte, has a large playground and boasts excellent sports facilities within a two minute walk. Primary-aged children love the wooden chalet with pleasant classrooms and comfortable places to sit, relax and read. Excellent facilities include a IGCSE science lab where young scientists can experiment, a well-equipped music room, and a balcony garden where our pupils love to grow vegetables and flowers.
Adjacent to the building is a fantastic playground with access to a multi-use games area for ball games and an adventure playground.
Chalet Orny includes several classrooms of different sizes so teaching can occur in full classes or in smaller, breakout groups.
Secondary students
Secondary students use a separate, well-equipped building, Chalet Orny, in central Verbier.
Adjacent to the building is a fantastic playground with access to a multi-use games area for ball games and an adventure playground.
