Institut Montana Switzerland
We believe every child has talent. Our mission is to nurture this talent. As a Swiss international day and boarding school nestled on the idyllic Zugerberg, we enjoy a unique location on the doorstep of the culturally rich city of Zug. Home to over 55 nationalities, we are proud to offer Swiss academic pathways (accredited by the Canton of Zug) as well as international programmes that suit every aspiration. Our exceptional teachers, small class sizes and extra-curricular learning provide the optimal environment for our students to grow into strong, insightful, compassionate adults. This is the Montana Learning Experience.

Important information:
Please note that co-curricular activities change year by year and these are examples. Most of them are set in stone in the culture of our school, but some old ones fade and new emerge according to the interests and passions of teachers and students. We carry out regular polls among students about activities they would like to see offered.
