With a 97-year history beginning in 1926, the previously single-sex boarding school has become a co-educational day school with grades Pre-K – 12. An International Baccalaureate (IB) school since 2009, Lausanne adopted the program for all grades in 2018. In 2017 it partnered with Fujian's Xiamen #1 School to open another fully-IB school in Xiamen, China.
The international school has adopted contemporarily-new methods and attitudes throughout the years. The current campus has specially-designed playground equipment, supports several academic and athletic teams, and was a filming location for 1993's The Firm.
