Learning Support

Every Student Learns Differently

At Verbier International School, we recognise that no two students learn in exactly the same way. Every child brings their own strengths, interests, experiences, and areas for development, and our role is to ensure they feel confident, supported, and able to thrive.

As a boutique international school, our small class sizes and exceptional teacher-to-student ratio allow us to know every learner as an individual. Teachers work closely with students to adapt their teaching, provide appropriate challenge, and offer additional support whenever needed.

A Personalised Approach

Our dedicated Learning Support Team works collaboratively with students, teachers, and families to ensure that individual learning needs are understood and appropriately supported.

Support may include:

Individual or small-group learning sessions
Targeted literacy and numeracy support
Study skills and organisational strategies
Executive functioning support
English language development where appropriate
Personalised learning plans
Collaboration with external specialists when required

Every support programme is tailored to the individual student, with clear goals and regular communication between school and home.

Working Together

Effective learning support is built on partnership.

Our Learning Support Team works closely with classroom teachers to ensure that appropriate strategies are implemented consistently across subjects. We also maintain regular communication with parents, recognising that the best outcomes are achieved when school and home work together.

Where appropriate, we are happy to collaborate with educational psychologists, therapists, and other external professionals to ensure students receive coordinated support.

Learning in a Caring Community

Learning support at VIS is part of our wider culture of care.

Students benefit from a nurturing environment where they feel safe to ask questions, embrace challenges, and learn from mistakes. Our phone-free school day, personalised pastoral care, and strong sense of community create an environment where students can focus, build positive relationships, and achieve their full potential.

Whether a student requires short-term intervention or ongoing support, our goal remains the same: to ensure every young person has the opportunity to flourish academically, socially, and personally.

How to apply

We warmly guide families through every step of joining VIS, ensuring a smooth transition into life in Verbier for both day students and boarders.
