At Leysin American School, our community’s health and safety is our top priority. Marc-Frédéric Ott, Head of School, and Christoph Ott, Head of Operations, together with our Leadership Team, and the LAS Board have been monitoring the overall global climate and best practices through recommendations from the CDC, WHO, and Swiss authorities in regard to the current COVID-19 crisis.
During this difficult and uncertain time we, as a school, have been working to support our students and families who have been impacted by unforeseeable disruptions. Our best wishes go out to all those affected by this disease.
