Not only did ISZL play a big role in getting me to where I am today, the teachers were incredibly supportive and flexible in what students were truly passionate about.

During my time at ISZL, I enjoyed being part of the Track and Field team, both in Middle and High School. Over the years the team offered me flexibility towards my own training schedule, which I very much appreciated.

The Pohlen Family
  • Parent

Our family, the Pohlens, has been part of the ISZL community since 2012 and we still have three kids at school: Nicola in Grade 6, Louisa in Grade 8 and Martin in Grade 11. Our eldest daughter Clara graduated from ISZL in 2018. We are German, but our kids were taught in England and started their education there. As a family, we enjoy doing sports together, and our favourite is skiing in the beautiful Swiss Alps. We also play tennis and badminton as well as swim, run and hike together.
