Blonay, Vaud, Switzerland
A trained biologist with more than 2 decades of international experience in life science and education. Managing director of Ecole Chantemerle since 2011, I now utilize my passion for innovation and education to strengthen and further develop our family business. Established in 1966 by the Wegmüller family, Chantemerle is a Swiss private boarding school for boys and girls starting at age 6. Over the years, our school has established an international reputation for its academic excellence and personalized family atmosphere. Chantemerle proposes academic programme in French and English. In particular we specialise in preparing international students for the swiss Federal Matura diploma, a prestigious diploma that opens automatically access to Swiss public universities. We also propose study abroad and immersion programmes as well as summer and winter camps. Chantemerle school has worldwide network of partner schools, education consultants and families. We welcome individual and groups of students to discover Switzerland, experiment a new culture and education system. The "School of Life" programme at Chantemerle helps children and teenagers develop essential real-world skills alongside academics. It focuses on practical areas such as financial literacy (budgeting, saving), domestic economics (cooking, nutrition, managing daily life), digital wellbeing and healthy habits all taught through hands-on activities. This is especially valuable because it prepares young people for independence and real-life responsibilities.
