Collège Alpin International Beau Soleil, known informally as Beau Soleil, is a private boarding school in Switzerland. Founded in 1910 by Madame Bluette Ferrier, it is located 1,350 metres (4,430 ft) above sea level on the Swiss Alps of Villars-sur-Ollon. The college provides a full boarding education for students aged 11–18 years old from 50 different countries.[4]

Beau Soleil has been listed by The Daily Telegraph as "One of the most exclusive schools in the world".[5] It has been described by L'Illustré as the most expensive school in the world.[6] L'Illustré also noted "Le risque du cocon" (the risk of the cocoon) for pupils who may not have enough experience of the outside world; and that the school values innovation.[6]
