Verbier, February 2019

Dear Parents,

Verbier International School merged with the Lemania Group from Lausanne at the start of the 2013/2014 school year. Since its inception, it has continued to grow thanks to the excellence of the work provided daily by its professors and its Managing Director, as well as his wife Vanessa. Their dedication, alongside support from many parents and friends of the school, will not have escaped you.

Throughout 2018, the Lemania Group reflected on the future of its participation in the Verbier school. None of the projects put forward by various potential partners ensured the continuity of the excellence of the educational project carried out by its director, Mr. Thibaut Descoeudres.

Indeed, the field of private education is no exception in the world of “business.” The pursuit of short-term profit, combined with the exceptional real estate market of Verbier, could have led to the takeover of the school by shareholders with little genuine interest in its educational future.

Therefore, what better guarantee to ensure the continuity of the ambitious project developed by Mr. Descoeudres then allowing him to become one of the owners of the school?

I am particularly grateful to the Lemania Group, which remains our privileged partner, for promoting a solution guaranteeing the future of the school.

I look forward to your continued loyalty and support.

Thank you,

Yours faithfully,

Jean-Jacques Roh President of the Board
