International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB) IB students at Leysin American School have their own dedicated campus at the Belle Époque, formerly the historic Grand Hotel Leysin. This campus has its own train station, but more importantly, it houses students who are working hard to gain a place at university by studying for this prestigious and globally recognized two-year diploma. Having a separate campus to study for the IB gives them better conditions to work as individuals, teams or with the experienced and motivated faculty. This campus receives numerous visits each year from admissions personnel who recognize that these students would be an asset to any university.
