Education and Schools in Zurich
A deserved reputation for exclusive, top, private education means that you can be safe in the knowledge that your child will receive the best education at any school in Zurich.
The city’s international schools are excellent, but do come at a premium, preparing children beyond the demands of college and university requirements, often focusing on other aspects of life such as the outdoors, religion, deportment and the like.
The Swiss schools in Zurich place a strong emphasis on mastering mathematics as a subject and on being able to understand the curriculum in German. A much more rigid and disciplined method of teaching is employed in Swiss Schools and school hours are different to those at American or British schools. Children in primary school are, for example, required to eat lunch at home.
