Broadening Horizons, Discovering Talents
At Surval, education goes far beyond the classroom. Our extensive enrichment programme is designed to inspire curiosity, build confidence, and encourage every girl to explore new interests. Against the breathtaking backdrop of Montreux, students are supported to step outside their comfort zones, try new activities, and discover their strengths.
A World of Opportunities
Our enrichment offering blends personal growth, cultural immersion, and adventure:
- French language days: held each term, these immersive experiences encourage fluency, confidence, and cultural understanding.
- Day trips across Switzerland: from alpine hikes to exploring historic towns, girls experience the best of our local surroundings.
- Weekend trips around Europe: optional journeys to iconic destinations provide unique insight into European history, culture, and traditions.
- Annual residential trips: longer adventures abroad strengthen friendships, build resilience, and create memories to last a lifetime.
Clubs and Student-Led Committees
Our world is ever-changing with new challenges constantly arising. At Surval we believe that for girls to secure the best future for themselves, they need the skillset and flexibility to meet and overcome any challenges.
Helping our girls achieve these vital communication, thinking and leadership skills is at the heart of the Surval experience. Our after-school clubs and Student-led committees play an important role here. Student Voice is a platform for discussion and action. Girls are encouraged to step-up, leading and actively contributing in school life giving feedback and recommendations for future developments in these key areas:
