Join Neuchâtel Junior College

Celebrating its 70th anniversary in 2026, Neuchâtel Junior College offers a transformative academic and cultural experience like no other. Located in the picturesque heart of Switzerland, we blend the Ontario Grade 12 curriculum with immersive, real-world learning opportunities. Our school provides an intimate and highly personalized learning environment where each student is known, supported, and challenged.

Students spend their final year of high school or a gap year earning Ontario Secondary School Diploma credits while living with French-speaking host families. This experience not only facilitates fluency in French but also offers deep exposure to European culture and lifestyle.

Our small class sizes, extensive travel throughout Europe, and commitment to experiential learning foster independence, intellectual curiosity, and a lasting sense of purpose that defines the Neuchâtel experience.

With the current Head departing after two successful terms, we are seeking a dynamic new Head of School to elevate Neuchâtel to the next level of excellence.
