For young athletes who want to practise their sport intensively, Chantemerle partners with selected professional academies around the school. They are chosen for the quality of their coaching and for the safety standards recommended by the Swiss authorities.
Participants usually combine one week of sports academy with one or several weeks of the Chantemerle summer programme, so they also enjoy our learning and activity experience.
- Professional coaches and former top-level players
- Full-day or half-day training, depending on the academy
- One-week sessions in July 2027
