On a campus where places of study, physical activities and awakening are united within a magnificent green space, Ecole Nouvelle de la Suisse Romande prepares for life and exams by respecting individuality while valuing diversity, by privileging experience while developing knowledge.

The ENSR welcomes a majority of Swiss students, but also reserves a special place for foreign students looking for a friendly, family-oriented environment, difficult to find in a large "international" structure. ENSR's human-scale structure, this multicultural contribution and the multilingualism fostered with the practice of English starting in kindergarten, represent a major asset, enabling each student to enrich themselves through contact with their peers.

With the joy of learning as the overriding objective, the quality of teaching relies on appropriately sized classes, motivated and experienced teachers, effective teaching methods and a good infrastructure. The idyllic setting in which ENSR is located enables every student to develop intellectually and morally, as well as physically, thanks to the many sporting activities on offer. Indeed, sport is a major asset in the lives of ENSR students, and the campus boasts numerous facilities.
