The American College of Switzerland, based in the Swiss village of Leysin (Vaud), was founded by Dr. Fred Ott in 1963.
[citation needed] The campus was housed in the modernized Victorian style building of Les Frenes, built in the late 1800s, which became a sanatorium of the Dr. Rollier health complex in the early 1900s.
[citation needed] A private train station connected Leysin to all main lines and cities in Switzerland.
[citation needed] Some notable alumni include Sylvester Stallone[1] and Winthrop Paul Rockefeller.
