It was originally founded as part of the New Education movement at the beginning of the 20th century – a movement which promoted the creation of boarding schools in countryside settings, with modern pedagogy focused on balanced, holistic child development.
ENSR enjoys partnerships with other international schools, such as Schulle Schloss Salem in Germany.
Through the Alumni Association and the Neotema Foundation, ENSR also maintains strong links with Thailand.
A partnership with the Languages Department of the University of Geneva and the Distance Learning Foundation allows Thai teachers and members of the Ministry of Education to visit ENSR annually for two weeks of seminars and exchanges.
ENSR International School is located in the Chailly district of Lausanne, in the north-east of the city.
The campus is conveniently located near the city centre (several minutes away by bus) but within proximity to parks and forests.
