Mission Statement SHM will teach the traditional fundamentals of Swiss hospitality, utilizing the latest state of the art technology and incorporating modern teaching methods to prepare its students for roles as future international hotel and business managers.

Core Values Security Our prime concern in Lenk is the safety of all our students for both learning and working. Lenk at the end of the Simmental valley and away from major cities is perfect for secure living and learning thus giving parents’ piece of mind whilst their children are away from home.

Core Values Pursuit of Excellence Through commitment to our Vision, Mission, Forum, Focus, Core Practices and Processes, SHML provides innovation and continuous improvement to its teachers and students.

Core Values Unity and Respect for One Another Students can achieve our full potential for them by valuing the unique contribution of each academic member, while working together towards our mission and maintaining balance in their lives.
