"Helvetia gave me a humanist and trilingual education that marked my life. I learned the value of friendship, respect for difference, and open debate. After almost 47 years, my class remains united, something that is not achieved in every school. I am from Helvetia, with gratitude and pride."

"Whether it's because of the intercultural environment in which we grew up, the teachers we had, having studied in a cultural heritage site, or simply because of having grown up in a community where being unique and special was applauded, there is something about being Helvetian that is noticeable from afar."
