Building meaningful relationships broadens students' understanding, boosts empathy, and helps them learn valuable life skills. Older individuals can offer guidance and wisdom, while younger peers bring fresh ideas, creating a balanced support network. These connections help students develop social skills, emotional intelligence, and leadership qualities, preparing them for diverse interactions in the real world. At Lausanne, encouraging these bonds helps students grow into well-rounded, adaptable individuals capable of connecting with anyone, while also forging bonds that will continue to reverberate throughout their lives.
Lausanne students are caring and reflective persons who consider others' needs and feelings and act to make a positive difference. Disagreements or misunderstandings are thoughtfully approached by faculty, counselors and peers to find resolutions that provide learning opportunities and growth.
