Education in The Swiss Alps
Zuoz is located in the Engadine Valley of the Swiss Alps at an altitude of 1750 meters (5800 feet) above sea level, not far from St.Moritz. The exhilarating climate in this valley, famous for its sunshine and pure mountain air, is surely a benefit to the well-being of every youngster during these years of growth and maturing. Far from the influences of large cities, the students are able to concentrate on their studies, and own personal development. Through numerous outdoor activities and sports in both summer and winter, the Lyceum maximizes the advantages of its unique location to the benefit of its students. Whether in the field of formal education, organized leisure activities, or aspects of personal growth, the Lyceum Alpinum places high priority on individual counseling and guidance.
