About Zurich International School

Zurich International School provides an education that ensures children develop a lifelong love of learning. Whether it’s encouraging them to challenge themselves, to connect with people from different backgrounds, or to push themselves to take risks and trust in their abilities, the school believes it is about striking the perfect balance – and seeing the person, as well as the learner.

The school has built its outstanding education on a foundation of exceptional teaching, a broad curriculum including the International Baccalaureate Diploma and Advanced Placement courses, and a strong focus on science, technology, engineering and math. It’s an approach that has opened doors to the world’s most prestigious universities.

But ZIS is most proud of how it delivers education. When it challenges students, it does so by getting them to experiment and explore, not by extinguishing their spark. The teachers work hard to connect each student to a subject and find the angle that brings it to life. That’s an approach which helps learning stick.

ZIS has nurtured a campus environment that allows students to feel safe and supported, focusing on their well-being and helping them learn approaches to deal with life’s challenges. Its education focuses on character as well as achievement and prizes qualities such as empathy, leadership, teamwork, resilience, patience and passion.

The school also takes the time to help students discover their true passions. Its extensive in-and-out-of-school activities expose pupils to a broad range of pursuits, so they can discover a hobby or career that may enrich their whole life.

ZIS has two purpose-built campuses offering state-of-the-art facilities.
