Orientation Week
The semester will begin with Orientation Week, which involves welcoming new and returning students to campus. The week is designed to help everyone adjust to life at LAS, meet their peers, and settle into their new routines. Icebreaker activities, team-building exercises, and informative sessions add to the strong sense of community at LAS. It will be a great start to the academic year!

 

Extracurricular Activities
Our extracurricular program is a highlight of student life at LAS. From art workshops and music performances to robotics club and sports teams, students will explore their passions and discover new interests. These activities provide an outlet for creativity and exploration, and it will be great to see students trying new things, particularly in our stunning Alpine environment.

 

Academic Achievements
From starting new courses to developing their current subject knowledge, students have a great range of academic pursuits ahead of them this semester. We can't wait to take students on more experiential learning opportunities and provide them with a wide range of hands-on learning experiences!

 

Adventures with Faculty Families
A LAS tradition, the Faculty Family Program, will strengthen the bond between students and faculty. Through shared meals, hikes, and game nights, these gatherings provide a home-away-from-home experience, developing support networks and creating lasting memories. 

 

Outdoor Pursuits
The Alpine Institute guides students through the International Award expedition, where participants develop their survival skills and demonstrate perseverance in the Swiss Alps. Whether navigating challenging terrains or camping under starry skies, this experience will be a transformative journey of skill development and teamwork for our students! 

 

Cultural Celebrations
The diversity of our community is highlighted during International Week, as students showcase their cultures through traditional clothing, performances, and cuisine. The week will celebrate our diversity, highlighting the global community of LAS. 

 

Cultural Trips
Cultural trips across Switzerland and Europe enrich students’ understanding of history and art, providing an immersive learning experience outside the classroom. Our students love traveling to different countries, learning about different cultures, and developing language skills. LAS cultural trips offer unique experiences to students while providing them with vital life skills and opportunities to make new friends and connect with different cultures. 

 

As the fall semester nears, we can't wait to welcome students and show them everything the LAS community has to offer! This semester will be filled with growth, community, and new memories, from the excitement of Orientation Week to the incredible travel opportunities, creative showcases, and cultural celebrations. See you on campus soon!
