Arriving by Public Transport

If arriving by train to Lausanne station, take the metro north towards Epalinges Croisettes and get off at Riponne Maurice Béjart. Walk across the square to the bus stops. Bus 18 stops 100 m from the school using the stop Lausanne Clochatte (the end of the line).

Arriving by car

Please note the sat nav address to avoid problems → Route de la Clochatte 14, 1018 Lausanne.

Please park in the spaces marked with ECC; this can be found below/next to the football pitch (see school map → EC Parking).

Access

Please access the school via Route de la Clochatte.

Please make yourself known to our reception team in the north building to receive a printed badge to wear while you are at ISL. The reception is the first door on your right as you enter through the main entrance.

There will be signs or some willing volunteers to show you to the staffroom for tea/coffee. We will move to our Multipurpose room for the sessions starting at 9.30.

Agenda

	To avoid the traffic congestion caused by morning drop-off, please plan to arrive on the school campus after 08:30; it is important to note we have a no-parking policy before 08:30.
