The Montana Learning Experience

Swiss and international academic pathways  

Every student is an individual free to choose the path that fits their future aspirations.

 

Our Swiss and international programmes share the same approach to excellence. They are centred on understanding the learning needs of each student. We help them learn how to study well - it is not just a matter of how many hours you spend with your books, it is developing an intellect that processes and understands information. With that comes a joy of learning that will bring out the full potential in each learner and help them achieve their goals.

Our different pathways also contribute to the lively diversity in our school. Local Swiss students making friendships without borders and pursuing their dreams with an International Baccalaureate; young people from all over the world and their Swiss classmates focussing on their Swiss Matura. All of them growing into global citizens.
