Small classes with caring teachers and assistants
With an average of 10 students per class and a maximum of 15, we optimise support for each student. Small classes enable teachers to form meaningful connections with each student, allowing a deeper understanding of their unique academic needs. This personalised approach, combined with EAL and DaZ specialists, helps students to thrive and reach their learning goals.

Bilingual education in an international environment
The bilingual primary school follows a Swiss curriculum with full-immersion classrooms in German and English.
Over half of our primary school students have an international background, so the children make friends who come from different cultures and speak other languages at home. They learn to be the global citizens of tomorrow.

Flexible future educational pathways
Students have wide options at the end of primary school. They can continue to the Bilingual Secondary School, Swiss Gymnasium, or International School, depending on their strengths, interests and future aspirations.
Engaging after-school activities
We offer a wide range of clubs and activities, as we believe that important learning takes place outside of the curriculum. Students can choose from visual arts, sports, baking, science, robotics and much more.
A unique, safe and beautiful location
While our surroundings are rural, we are close to the city of Zug. Convenient access allows families to drop off their children either at the school or at the Zugerberg Bahn at Schönegg, from where they ride the funicular up to school under the supervision of our staff.
Dedicated and specialised facilities
Our youngest children have their own area of our campus with dedicated classrooms and play areas. They take lunch in the lovely school dining room, where they are supervised by their teachers.
