History

Founded in 1904, Lyceum Alpinum is one of the oldest private boarding schools in Switzerland. It is located 1,750 m (5,740 ft) above sea level on the Swiss Alps of Zuoz, near the alpine village of St. Moritz, Switzerland.

The school was founded by a group of locals from the Engadine as an institution for ailing boys, whose parents were spending their vacation in St.Moritz, so that they could benefit from the mountain air and did not fall behind in any of their subjects. It was at the time called the "Institut Engiadina", and had 22 students in its first year and was run by a director and two teachers.[5]

However, it very soon developed into a fully-fledged secondary school for boys - later on girls were also admitted. It is attended by around 200 boarders and 100 day pupils from the region. The pupils are between 11 and 21 years old.[citation needed]

Academic curriculum

Students at the school can study for the Swiss Matura (German or German/English), the German Abitur and, in English, the International Baccalaureate.

About three hundred students between 12 and 18 years of age from around the world follow programmes leading to the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB), the Swiss Matura (German) or the bilingual Swiss Matura (German/English) and German Abitur.[citation needed]
