Learning at ISZL

Turn Learning into Action

At ISZL learning is a rich and personalised experience. Driven by the latest educational research, our programmes support the achievement and success of all students.

Students at ISZL experience a broad, balanced and challenging programme in the wonderful environment of Central Switzerland, which builds conceptual understanding and critical thinking and prepares students for a bright future.

Middle School

Ages 11 - 14

Our Middle School programme offers students academic challenges 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 School

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 School

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.
