Emerging players

• Brillantmont International School: Private boarding school in Lausanne offering secondary education to local and international students. Comparable as a peer Vaud-region secondary education provider competing for the same student demographic, but differentiated by private tuition model, boarding offering, and English-medium instruction versus French-medium public PER curriculum.
• Aiglon College: Private international boarding school in Vaud canton (Chesieres-Villars) offering secondary education with broad curriculum. Comparable as a Vaud-region alternative to public education for families seeking non-PER pathways, though differing substantially in tuition-based model, international student body, and English-language delivery.
• International School of Lausanne (ISL): Private international school located in the broader Lausanne region (Vaud canton) offering K-12 instruction to expatriate and local families. Comparable as an alternative education provider operating in the same Vaud geography, competing for the same family demographic, but with different funding model (tuition-based) and curriculum (IB rather than PER).

Broad incumbents

• Ecoles publiques du Canton de Genève (Public schools of Geneva): Another major Swiss cantonal public school network operating under Geneva's separate education framework but serving a similar urban population with comparable primary-secondary cycles and public funding model. Useful as a regional peer for understanding cross-cantonal variation in Swiss public K-12 delivery.
• Stadt Zürich Schulen (City of Zurich schools): Larger Swiss municipal school system operating under a different cantonal framework (Zurich) but providing the same core public K-12 mandate. Comparable as a regional public school network with broader scale (entire city of Zurich), offering insight into how Swiss urban school systems organize primary-secondary education, support services, and extracurricular programs.
• Volksschule Basel-Stadt (Basel-City public schools): Public primary-secondary school network for Basel-City canton serving a similar urban Swiss population with comparable multi-cycle structure (Primar, Sekundar). Comparable as a Swiss public education peer for benchmarking against alternative cantonal governance and funding models.

Others

• Lausanne Schools of Engineering and Hospitality (public vocational options): Cantonal vocational and post-obligatory education providers in Vaud that receive graduates from secondary establishments like EPS Vevey. Comparable as downstream ecosystem participants: students completing Voie générale or Voie prégymnasiale at Vevey EPS may feed into these programs, making them functionally adjacent to the school's academic mission.

Direct peers

• Etablissement primaire et secondaire de Lausanne (EPS Lausanne): Direct Vaud-canton public primary-secondary school peer operating under the same DGEO framework, PER curriculum, and LEO/RLEO regulations as EPS Vevey. Comparability arises from identical governance, identical catchment-based enrollment, similar multi-building footprint, and overlapping student services model (health, social, PPLS support).
• Etablissement scolaire d'Yverdon-les-Bains (Y-Parc / ES Yverdon): Vaud-canton public primary-secondary school serving the Yverdon-les-Bains region under the same DGEO framework as EPS Vevey. Comparable as a peer establishment within the 93-school Vaud network, sharing identical regulatory environment, PER curriculum, and public funding model but operating in a different catchment zone.
• Etablissement scolaire de la région de Montreux (ESRM): Neighboring Vaud-canton public primary-secondary establishment serving the Montreux/Commune region under the same DGEO oversight. Highly comparable as a peer Vaud school with similar catchment-based enrollment, PER curriculum, and parallel programs including OCOM options, supervised studies, and cantonal funding structure.
