International Baccalaureate (IBDP)
The International Baccalaureate at École
des Roches offers an academic education that stimulates and challenges.
We ensure that every child can flourish.
Students live in a safe family environment as part of a close-knit IB
community. The high staff to student ratio ensures individual attention,
while form tutors have regular contact with parents to discuss their
children’s personal well-being and academic progress.
The student-oriented lessons focus on skills-based learning – an approach that universities and employers look for. Students are encouraged to become responsible and independent learners. The teachers in the IB team are experienced subject specialists and include IB examiners and IB school inspectors.
Facilities
The campus also includes numerous sports facilities including a summer swimming pool, outdoor and indoor tennis courts, a go-kart track, a golf driving range, an athletics stadium, rugby and football fields, a gymnasium, cultural and artistic facilities, etc.
Boarding
The boarding school at École des Roches consists of 6 residences called "Maisons". Boys and girls are divided by
gender and age. Foreign students are accommodated with French-speaking
students in pleasant rooms with 2 to 8 beds. The Boarding Houses are
supervised by responsible adults called House masters. They are the
"parents" at the boarding school and they are there to ensure the
well-being, safety, monitoring of school work and the daily life of the
children.
