Cycle 2

Middle School – 9 to 12 years

In mixed-age groups, children deepen their skills, discover interests, and learn to take responsibility – in an environment that strengthens personality and talents.

Space for Learning

The large hall on the first floor belongs to our middle school students. The light-filled room offers freedom of movement, retreat options, and is occasionally converted into a theater hall. In addition to personal workspaces, children have access to group rooms, learning niches, and studios – all to promote interdisciplinary learning.

9–12 years

Middle School with Full-Day Care

In the second cycle of our day school, everything revolves around connecting different learning fields. Instead of grades, students receive a comprehensive competence profile that reflects the learning goals achieved and strengths. In the mixed-age school day, children practice taking responsibility – for their own learning path and for the community. Whether in supporting each other in solving tasks or at the lunch table.

Our Advantages at a Glance

Media Competence – Consciously Handling Digital Content

Our students learn to use iPads, phones, and computers purposefully to research, evaluate, prepare, and present content. We promote responsible use of digital and social media – in class and in everyday life – together with parents.

Multilingualism – Language That Is Lived

English and French are part of our everyday school life – not only in language classes but also during breaks, care, or at lunch. Native-speaking teachers enable natural, playful foreign language acquisition. All other subjects are taught in German.

Community – Taking Responsibility

Developing rules together, respecting each other, taking responsibility – our students actively shape living together. In doing so, they strengthen their social and personal skills and learn what it means to be part of a community. These social skills are an important part of the personal competence profile.

Project Work Means: Discovering the World

Excursions, camps, and project days are highly valued at our day school. Whether from nature, culture, society, or religion – we bring world topics into the school and create space for independent research, discovery, and design. We utilize the diverse cultural offerings of Zurich.
