Introduction
Founded in 1960, ICS is the oldest international school in the Greater Zurich Area and today,
one of its most forward-looking.
We are the only school in Zurich to offer the full IB continuum (PYP, MYP, DP), educating
students from Nursery to Grade 12 in a dynamic environment that celebrates self-discovery,
global perspective, and deep-rooted community. Our approach is grounded in kindness,
integrity, and respect - values that are embedded in the everyday rhythms of school life.
Nestled in the landscape of Canton Zurich, our campus and surroundings serve as a living
classroom. From our pioneering Waldkinder programme to outdoor learning experiences
across all ages, ICS connects education with the real world in meaningful, hands-on ways.
Our faculty are not only teachers, they are mentors and collaborators who shape learning
experiences through a programme designed to support every student’s journey. With 800
students representing more than 55 nationalities, ICS is a vibrant, inclusive community that
reflects the world and prepares students to shape it.
Applications are welcome year-round. Learn more or schedule a personal tour
