The benefit gala on July 3, 2026, marked a highlight of the anniversary year “80 Years Ecole Rooted in Goldern.” Inspiring words, a magnificent gourmet menu, and brilliant piano performances set the tone for an evening spent in the best of company. 130 former students, staff members, parents, donors, and friends of the Ecole gathered to honor eight decades of the Ecole’s spirit and legacy on the Hasliberg.

The benefit gala has successfully helped ensure that children and young people of all backgrounds will continue to be able to attend the Ecole in the future. The substantial proceeds from the auctions—CHF 27,910—benefiting the Ecole d’Humanité Foundation’s scholarship fund were generously more than doubled by an anonymous donor to CHF 60,000! We are deeply grateful to everyone involved for their support.

Thank you for the pictures, Tatiana Khokhlova.
