Academics
SM begins with Foundation Year. The majority of Foundation students start at age 13, but English language learners may start at age 12 and spend a year working on their English before joining the rest of the school. After Foundation Year, there are two academic tracks, students either earn an American high school diploma or take the IGCSE and A-Levels.{{cite web |title=Surval Montreux Curriculum - Switzerland Private Education |url=https://swiss-private-education.com/schools/surval-montreux/surval-montreux-curriculum/ |website=Switzerland Education |accessdate=14 January 2020 |date=13 July 2018}}
