Lausanne has been a wonderful environment for our family. Not only does the IB program provide an excellent framework for the entire school, the culture of the school is truly joyful. My daughter`s teachers have always had such a great understanding of who she is, both academically and emotionally. I'm so happy to call Lausanne home.

We have had nothing but positive experiences with our boys being students at Lausanne. The lower school teachers show a level of diligence, empathy, and compassion that is unmatched. The level of detail that is shown, across all divisions, make us incredibly excited about every grade level that we will get to experience. We are so grateful to have found this diverse community within the city of Memphis!

Lausanne has been one of the best schools I have ever been a part of. Excellent faculty and staff. I would give 10 stars if I could. I am a teacher there as well as a parent. The sacrifice I have made to put my son there I know will definitely have my son in a better position to learn.

My boy/girl twins have thrived in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade at Lausanne. They are taken care of emotionally and socially. They are also challenged academically on a daily basis and have grown exponentially in this department. We love the after school offerings as well and are very happy with the overall experience.

My son transferred from another private school to Lausanne in the 8th grade. He is currently a sophomore and excelling at Lausanne! The teachers at Lausanne truly are passionate about their work and they've taught my son how to think critically, advocate for himself and others, and how to become a better citizen. He struggled academically at first, but the teachers spent a lot of time getting him on track. The academics are very challenging, but Lausanne has so many programs in place to help the students succeed. I had no idea there were private schools that invested so much in their students learning goals and academics. They truly go the extra mile and beyond! And if you have an interest in any extra-curricular activity, Lausanne offers it! You would think they had 1000's of students because of the many different activities they offer for their students. It is a wonderful school, very diverse, and numerous class offerings to choose from. I highly recommend Lausanne.

All three of my children have had an amazing experience at the school. The eldest graduated from the school, and while the IB diploma was difficult to obtain, it made a significant difference in the college scholarships she was offered. Her younger brothers are current Lausanne students, and I've watched them grow and thrive in the environment. I'm extremely happy with our choice to send our kids to Lausanne, and couldn't recommend it more.
