Curriculum and International Standards

SIS Männedorf-Zürich bases its teaching on the curriculum of the respective canton, supplementing it with elements of international educational practice and pedagogical standards developed by SIS.

Bilingual Education from Kindergarten to Grade 6

The SIS Swiss International School Männedorf-Zürich offers bilingual education from kindergarten to grade 6 of primary school. Classes are held in both German and English, but bilingualism is not a prerequisite for admission.

Bilingual Kindergarten

Our bilingual Kindergarten, for children aged four to six, is a day school providing a well-supervised, safe, and stimulating learning environment. SIS has developed a unique curriculum for this age group, preparing children for a smooth transition into the bilingual SIS Primary School.

Bilingual Primary School

Teaching at our bilingual Primary School follows the cantonal curriculum, incorporating international educational practices and SIS’s pedagogical standards. Attending our Primary School prepares children for the transition into our Bilingual College at SIS Zürich, with the option for students to transfer from the public school system at any time.
