About the school
We believe every child has talent. Our mission is to nurture this talent.
As a Swiss international day and boarding school nestled on the idyllic Zugerberg, we enjoy a unique location on the doorstep of the culturally rich city of Zug. Home to over 55 nationalities, we are proud to offer Swiss academic pathways (accredited by the Canton of Zug) as well as international programmes that suit every aspiration. Our exceptional teachers, small class sizes and extra-curricular learning provide the optimal environment for our students to grow into strong, insightful, compassionate adults. This is the Montana Learning Experience.
Qualities and characteristics that best define the school:
Our Swiss and international programmes share the same approach to excellence. They are centred on understanding the learning needs of each student. We help them learn how to study well - it is not just a matter of how many hours you spend with your books - it is developing an intellect that processes and understands information. With that comes a joy of learning that will bring out the full potential in each learner and help them achieve their goals.
Our different pathways also contribute to the lively diversity in our school. Local Swiss students making friendships without borders and pursuing their dreams with an International Baccalaureate; young people from all over the world and their Swiss classmates focussing on the Swiss Matura. All of them growing into global citizens.
