Surval Montreux is an international all girls boarding school in Montreux, Switzerland.^[1]

In addition to its own program, the school provides accommodation and academic classes to students of Institut Villa Pierrefeu, Switzerland's last traditional finishing school. Surval Montreux is a former rival of Pierrefeu, as it was originally established as the Surval Mont-Fleuri finishing school in 1961.^[2]

The school was renamed to Surval Montreux in 2012 after it was bought by Bellevue Education.^[3]^[4]^[5] The parent company is Bellevue Education International Limited.^[6]^[7] Bellevue bought the school as part of acquisitions driven by funding derived largely from Tarek Obaid, the founder of the oil company PetroSaudi, which has been implicated in the 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal.^[8]^[9]

Accreditation

SM's (upper) secondary education (Middle and High School) is not approved as a Mittelschule/Collège/Liceo by the Swiss Federal State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI).^[10]
