Zurich International School is a leading, non-profit day school offering a comprehensive education program in English for students, both local and expat, aged 3 to 18, with an additional bilingual pathway (English/German) for children aged 3 to 10.

ZIS understands that education is about finding the right balance. Our goal is to ensure that children develop a love of learning, so we give them a safe environment to explore without fear of failure. Our rigorous curriculum - including the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB) and Advanced Placement courses (AP) - provides a foundation that helps students go on to the most prestigious universities. It also prepares them for a future that requires compassion, leadership, adaptability, resilience and original thinking. What they learn is transferable and transformative.

We encourage students to discover new ideas and possibilities, learning by trying and doing. Each child is inspired to take their own path and challenged to excel, but also to protect their mental health and look out for others.

Every student explores a wide range of extracurricular activities and we encourage them to try new things by creating an environment in which they can be adventurous because they feel supported.

ZIS is truly international with our 1,300 students representing over 70 nationalities and speaking 40 mother-tongue languages. ZIS is made up of two purpose-built campuses: a Secondary Campus for ages 11 to 18 in Adliswil and a Lower School for ages 3 to 11 in Waedenswil.

The longest accredited international school in Switzerland, ZIS is an International Baccalaureate Organisation World School, accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges Commission on International Education and approved by Zurich's Department of Education.

Learn, Care, Challenge, Lead are the cornerstones of our mission.
