NSZ Neue Schule Zürich
We are delighted that you have come across NEUE SCHULE ZÜRICH, also known as NSZ, in your search for a public school. We are a state-authorised private school that was founded in 1942. Our school is located in a converted patrician house with an integrated extension in Zurich's university district and is easily accessible by public transport. With around 200 students, 40 teachers and small classes, our school enables a personal atmosphere between all school members.
We run a four-year grammar school, a progymnasiale Sekundarschule A and a middle school preparation class. Our curriculum is based on the requirements of external examinations: the Swiss Matura examination or the Zentrale Aufnahmepfürung (ZAP) for a Kantonsschule or another secondary school.
– Would you like to transfer from a Sekundarschule A to our four-year grammar school?
– Would you like to prepare for the entrance exam to a Kantonsschule or another secondary school?
– Or are you looking for a Sekundarschule A after which you can then attend the four-year grammar school in the same building?
At our grammar school, we prepare students for the Swiss Matura examination in 8-9 semesters. This course leads to a recognised Matura certificate - equivalent to a degree from a Kantonsschule - and entitles students to examination-free admission to all fields of study at Swiss universities and advanced technical colleges. We offer a wide range of specialised subjects (“Schwerpunktfächer”): Biology + Chemistry, Economics + Law, Physics + Applications of Mathematics, Italian, Spanish, Visual Arts and Music
Our Sekundarschule A enables all students to obtain a state-recognised secondary school certificate at level A and also prepares them for a four-year grammar school, a further secondary school or an apprenticeship with a vocational baccalaureate. The curriculum of the Canton of Zurich and the use of compulsory teaching materials serve as a basis, which also allows for a later transfer from a public secondary school A during the school year.
If you are interested, we would like to get to know you personally together with your daughter or son during an admission interview and a tour of the school. You do not have to take an exam for either the secondary school or the grammar school. An admission interview between the pupil, parents and school management forms the basis for admission to our school. In addition to information about the school and clarification of goals, this admission interview also offers the opportunity to find out whether our programme and our school philosophy match the family's expectations.
