Get Involved

Just like the toughest alpine ascent, we need a strong team to achieve all that we believe LAS can become. Our Global Family—including alumni, former faculty, and friends of the school—are crucial members of that team.

Your support is critical to everything that we do here at LAS. Whether you meet with us on the road as we are discovering new LAS students, whether you are coming back to speak to our students in the classroom, whether you support our scholarship programs, or whether you open your home or business to us, your engagement makes all the difference.

As part of our strategic vision, established in the 2021-22 academic year, we’re asking every member of the LAS Global Family to (re)engage with our school. You make all the difference! There are so many different ways to get engaged and we encourage you to pick as many as you’d like.

If you have any questions or ideas about how you might like to get involved with LAS, let us know! Send our team an email at advancement@las.ch. Thank you!
