Zurich International School
"Where students take their own path". That's the motto that Zurich International School always followed for almost 60 years. At Zurich, students are encouraged to discover new ideas and possibilities and learn by trying and doing. They will be inspired to go further but take their own path, which means that what they learn will be transferable and transformative.
Exploring is a vital part of growing. Understanding that Zurich encourages students to try new things so that they can explore and learn who they really want to be. Therefore, its students are not hesitant to try and try more, even if they get in trouble and fail, but they are part of success.
