Early Years Open Day - Saturday 28 March
Early Years Open Day
Please join us for an Open Day on Saturday 28 March 2020 to learn more about how your child could benefit from a personalised, student centred educational programme at Zug’s leading international school. This Open Day is for our Early Years and Kindergarten Programme for ages 3 - 6.
Middle
Ages 11 - 14
Our Middle School programme offers students academic challenge and the development of life skills appropriate to this stage of adolescence. This is provided in an environment of inquiry using the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP).
Primary
Ages 6 - 11
The curriculum in the Primary School at ISZL is based upon the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP). In the PYP the knowledge and skills of traditional disciplines or subjects find links through trans-disciplinary units of learning that identify "big ideas" or concepts that link across subjects.
High
Ages 14 - 18
The High School provides a college-preparatory programme, with an emphasis on a broad and balanced education in an atmosphere that is supportive, encouraging, challenging, and based on the principle of respect.
