KEY FACTS
About Institut Montana
We believe every child has talent. Our mission is to nurture this talent.
We are a Swiss international day and boarding school on the idyllic Zugerberg, on the doorstep of the vibrant city of Zug. We offer Swiss academic pathways (accredited by the Canton of Zug) as well as international programmes.
Currently, we host around 380 students from around 55 countries. They develop through our founding values: Internationalism, Individualism, Integration, and Innovation. Our dedicated teachers, small class sizes, high-quality teaching and co-curricular activities provide the optimal environment for our students to grow into strong, insightful, Compassionate adults. This is the Montana Learning Experience.
Academic Pathways
- The Swiss Bilingual Primary School for grades 1-6 where students will learn half of the subjects in German
and the other half in English based on the Swiss curriculum. Boarding is available from the age of 10.
- The Swiss Bilingual Secondary School for grades 7-9 is a bridge between primary and further education. With exceptional individual support the curriculum prepares students to transfer either to our Swiss
Gymnasium (Schweizer Gymnasium) or to our International School.
- The Swiss Gymnasium for grades 7-12 where students learn in German and English as well as learn French
based on the Swiss curriculum. The Matura grants direct entry to top Swiss universities (ETH, HSG) and is recognised by universities worldwide.
- The International School for grades 6-12 where students join the Cambridge Programmes (CLSP and IGCSE) and the IB Diploma Programme or the High School Diploma. With the IB Diploma, students can access universities in Switzerland and around the world.

We also offer a 2-week Summer Camp for students aged 10-16 years old in July where they will learn German or English alongside various activities and take field trips.
Beyond the Classroom
Institut Montana offers a well-rounded education that extends beyond the classroom.
