Zurich International School

Zurich International School (ZIS) is one of Switzerland's most distinguished international day schools, founded in 1963 and operating across multiple campuses in the greater Zurich area — in Wädenswil, Adliswil, and Männedorf on the shores of Lake Zurich. Educating students aged 3 to 18, ZIS offers the IB Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme, and IB Diploma. Accredited by CIS and NEASC, and authorised by the IBO, ZIS serves a vibrant international community of over 60 nationalities drawn from Zurich's world-class financial, pharmaceutical, and technology sectors. ZIS consistently achieves outstanding IB results and has an excellent university placement record. The school's lakeside campuses provide an extraordinary backdrop for learning, with beautiful views over Lake Zurich and the Alps. German language instruction helps students engage with Swiss culture. ZIS is particularly noted for its exceptional outdoor education programme, taking full advantage of Lake Zurich for sailing, and the Alps for skiing. Its warm, inclusive community and professional faculty make it the school of choice for internationally mobile families in the greater Zurich area.
