Leadership
Student leadership is at the heart of our close-knit residential community.
The LAS Fred Ott Leadership Program empowers students to develop their leadership skills and give back to their communities—within their dorms, across campus, and beyond. Student leaders take on a variety of roles represented in our Leadership Map, from Prefects and Ambassadors to Senior Proctors. Additional opportunities to lead can be found through Student Council, the International Award program, Honor Council, clubs, teams, and campus events.
Our student leaders help to establish and maintain a welcoming, supportive, and forward-looking school environment.
Our Leadership Program helps students grow into independent thinkers who make a positive impact within the LAS community and beyond. With a wide range of leadership opportunities available, every student can find meaningful ways to contribute, collaborate, and grow. In addition to on-campus initiatives, LAS offers service experiences that extend our students’ reach across the globe. During the 2025–2026 school year, two major service trips—to Zimbabwe and China—will give students the chance to engage with and support communities in need, while local projects within Switzerland provide opportunities to make a lasting difference closer to home.
