The Ecole is consistently ranked one of the best schools in Europe[6] this is largely because of the wide range of activities and opportunities students are given, from trips across the globe, to hikes on the Eiger trail, and a dedicated staff of ski instructors and sports advisors.

Because of the school's bespoke, hands on curriculum and high Advanced Placement scores, students often go on to study at the world's most prestigious higher education institutions, including Oxford, Yale, Cambridge, The ETH, Brown, The University of Chicago, Dartmouth and NYU.

The school also has an academic staff team of nearly 50, all of which have obtained doctorates, masters and degrees at prestigious higher education establishments, because of this, classrooms tend to have anywhere from 2-9 students in them.

Smaller classroom sizes allow Ecole teachers to provide a highly personalised education to each student so that they can delve far deeper into an academic subject than they normally would.

[8] Because of the school's available places and philosophy, admissions are very selective, with the Ecole only offering entry to students who they feel are an intellectual fit with the community and will take opportunities and their formative education into their own hands.

The association offers an opportunity for alumni to make prestigious connections[12] with its international network of members, who also organise independent EC events in their respective countries.

The circle also offers food and accommodation to alumni travelling internationally, through a system that allows them to stay with other members who donated or volunteered their homes to the association.

[14] The Ecole also publishes a biannual magazine for students and alumni called "The Ecolianer" Archived 9 July 2021 at the Wayback Machine, which discusses the school in relation to the political, social and economic changes occurring in the world.

[23] Since its founding, the Ecole d'Humanité has educated a host of influential figures and notable families ranging from Olympic athletes and prime ministers to European royalty.
