1 in 5 students are presenting with learning differences (reading, number and motor skill disorders, attention- deficit hyperactivity disorder, high achievers). Recognizing and valuing these differences is a major challenge for any education system. At Chantemerle, students with learning differences are integrated into the regular class according to their age. In order to facilitate this integration, the teachers, the student and the parents, often with external specialist help, work together to implement a personalized coaching plan. Feeling understood and accepted, the student regains confidence and self-esteem. In small groups, surrounded by attentive and trained teachers, the student can progress at his/her own pace.

Success for all

Children with learning differences

Learn a new language with official certifications Experience a new education system and culture Validate a fully recognized school year abroad Return home with no interruption of studies Discover the beauty and uniqueness of Switzerland From September to June, Chantemerle proposes long and short term immersion programs (up to 10 months). Immersion can be done in French or in English with the possiblity to validate a full academic year abroad with official grade reports (Swiss or IB program). Study abroad or gap year is usually well accepted as time abroad and additional foreign languages add value to a student’s future college applications. Main benefits for the students :
