There are many reasons why parents chose to send their children to live in a boarding school in Switzerland like our ISSH boarding programme. Getting immersed in a new culture, learning a new language, soaking up culinary traditions and the typical Swiss atmosphere are only a few.
Many parents send their children to join the ISSH boarding programme in grade 10 or 11 so by the time they head off to university, they have a good understanding of German and feel comfortable and familiar with living and studying here.
The best Swiss universities ETH and the university of Zurich are only 40 minutes away from our School and the proximity of Zurich airport connects students and visiting parents to the world in no time.

Small class sizes, a high student to teacher ratio, a safe environment and highly qualified teachers are mirrored in the ISSH IB results of the last years:

Leaving our boarding programme our students will be well prepared and independent to study, work and live anywhere in the world.
