Vistas over the lakes and Alps, fresh clean air, thousands of kilometers of ski, bike and hiking trails provide a great way to rejuvenate. Staff ski weekends at our chalet in Wengen and free yoga classes are just a few of our staff wellbeing initiatives.
 

Child Protection

Student safeguarding is at the heart of every decision taken by ISZL, including our recruitment of staff. Our Child Protection Handbook sets out the ways in which we create a safe environment for our students.

ISZL has two online platforms, MyConcern and Confide, which allow staff and community members to share concerns about children and / or adults. Swiss and international criminal records bureau checks are carried out, and verbal references taken before recruitment is confirmed.
