Unlocking Potential: Ignite Switzerland
At Dulwich College Shanghai Puxi, we believe in nurturing students not just academically but holistically, providing opportunities for them to grow, discover, and develop their full potential. Ignite: Switzerland is a testament to this commitment, offering our students a life-changing journey.
Those who embark on this remarkable adventure spend 12 weeks in the southeastern region of Switzerland. Here, they delve into an inspiring world of learning and self-discovery, set against the backdrop of awe-inspiring natural surroundings.
Ignite: Switzerland unfolds at the Hochalpines Institut Ftan AG (HIF), a part of the Dulwich College International family. Nestled in the Lower Engadin valley, it's just three hours from Zurich and two hours from Milan. This breathtaking location fosters a deep connection with nature, as students become stewards of the environment.

The Outdoor Learning Programme stands as the pinnacle of the Ignite: Switzerland experience. Surrounded by the Swiss National Park and the southern alpine peaks, students can walk right into the midst of nature's magnificence. It's here that they develop confidence, resilience, and leadership skills, vital not only in outdoor adventures but also in all aspects of life.
The Ignite graduates fondly recall their experiences, whether it's hiking, camping, trekking, sailing, skiing, or simply stargazing with friends.
