The Surval Core

Learn New Languages

Learning new languages is part of the joy and fascination of travelling to other countries and develops skills for stepping into a multicultural workplace. Switzerland’s multilingual identity provides the perfect environment to inspire a love of languages.

In Surval, English is our first language of communication. French is our second shared language.

In addition to supporting strong foundations in English and French, we can arrange first language tuition for speakers of other languages including Spanish, Chinese, Russian and Japanese. 

During language enrichment classes, students have the opportunity to participate in beginner courses in additional languages, including Italian, Spanish, and German.  

Social Enterprise 

A student-led Charities Committee drives the school's charitable activities throughout the year, raising awareness of charitable causes and executing charitable events. Charity goes beyond money and aid, Surval girls believe it is about recognising their responsibility for the world as well as others.

Our student-led charities focus regularly on the plight of girls with significantly fewer freedoms and educational opportunities than themselves.  The need to surround girls with role models and influencers of all genders, as well as issues impacting them all over the world, is perhaps inevitable in an all-girls environment. This encourages them to advocate for girls' rights around the world and empowers them to find ways to make a difference right away and in the future.
