Mark your calendars for Saturday 23 May 2026, as we begin the day with the Official Graduation Ceremony at the prestigious SwissTech Convention Center on the EPFL campus in Lausanne.
Families and teachers are warmly invited to attend this afternoon event sponsored and organized by ISL. There is no cost for families to attend this event.
The ceremony begins at around 14:00 (exact time to be confirmed closer to the date) and promises an afternoon full of heartfelt speeches, engaging musical performances, and proud diploma moments — guaranteed to bring smiles, cheers, and maybe even a happy tear or two!
After the ceremony, ISL invites you to stay for a short celebratory toast at SwissTech.
The celebration continues at the graceful Beau-Rivage Palace, starting with a welcome drink at around 19:00 (exact time to be confirmed closer to the date). For this special occasion we have reserved two connecting ballrooms: the majestic 'La Rotonde' and 'Salle Sandoz', the jewel of the Beau-Rivage Palace. If the weather is kind, we may also gather in the beautiful gardens of the Beau-Rivage Palace with scenic views on the lake.
The Graduation Gala Party will be a cocktail dînatoire, featuring a mix of high tables, along with some comfortable seating areas including sofas and round tables. Around the space, there will be waiters serving a selection of food and drinks as well as some buffet tables. Following dinner, we will step inside 'Salle Sandoz' where DJ 'Kudos Live' will set the tone for an evening of dancing and celebration!
This special evening, organized by next year's Y13 parents on the 2026 Graduation Committee, requires advance ticket purchase and there are a maximum of 500 places. In later updates, we will share a sign-up form for the party and ticket information.
We hope to see you there for a night filled with laughter, dancing, and more wonderful memories to treasure.
Please note that times and programme details may change but will be confirmed in final communications sent to families closer to the date.
