Primary students follow an enhanced International Primary Curriculum with French options that range from a beginner's course to a truly bilingual program. This provides an excellent transition into the diverse international secondary curriculum offer.
In secondary, students are supported to achieve excellent academic results and further develop their skills in two or more languages. They can opt for a single-language or bilingual IB diploma, strengthening their application to top universities in Switzerland and abroad.
LCIS is a member of Nord Anglia Education (NAE), the world's leading premium schools’ group, and is, therefore, able to recruit the finest locally and internationally trained teachers committed to nurturing and inspiring every child. Consequently, LCIS students achieve outstanding academic results, and graduates are accepted to top universities in Switzerland and worldwide.

Through outstanding education and international opportunities unmatched by other schools in the area, the school cultivates in them the qualities, attributes, and skills needed to shape the future.
The school's Performing Arts programme benefits from its collaboration with The Juilliard School. The school's collaboration with MIT emphasises hands-on learning of STEAM subjects. In partnership with UNICEF, the school raises awareness of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and explores local solutions to global problems.

How would you rate La Côte International School Aubonne (LCIS)?
Our 2 boys attended La Côte over a number of years, the eldest for IB and the youngest Y2 to Y9, before we left Switzerland. Both really enjoyed their time at the school. Great teachers, facilities and opportunities.
My 3 children have attended 6 international school out of which 3 from Nord Anglia Education. LCIS has been my preferred one as it combines a nest, a friendly community where teachers and parents partner, in a great location (playground is in the middle of orchards), easily accessible by public transport (bus stop in front of the school), amazing performing art team, many sports team competing with other international school, always in a friendly atmosphere (the squads not only win medals but also the FairPlay award), and of course great academics while young adults are ‘well in their shoes’ and deliver outstanding IGSCE and IB results. Not to mention Duke of Edinburgh award or United Nation Model. 2 of my children took GSCE and IB. Finally, this is not a ‘marketing’ school. They don’t need that, just when you pop in, you would feel the well being.
It is a pleasure to work at La Côte International School Aubonne alongside some of the kindest and finest teachers and school leaders I have met in my career. It is a school full of vibrancy, warmth and smiles and, above all, ambitious, innovative and always personalised teaching, where every student is seen, supported and encouraged to achieve their absolute best, and where every staff member is invested in their success.

I choose this school for many reasons, security, quality in education, school community, integration and communication and the most important the big smile of my daughter after her school trial.
