ONCE UPON A TIME…
Mont-Olivet School was founded in Lausanne in 1917 by the Congregation of the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary. The Sisters ran the school and the girls’ boarding school for over 70 years. In 1987, they handed over the management of the school, which by then had become co-educational, to a secular organisation. Our school has continued to adapt and evolve with the times. It has been located in Vich since 2002. In July 2021, Christophe Santschi took over Mont-Olivet School and today the school welcomes about 220 students, aged from 3 to 16 years old.
