Could be good option for international students who have passed Gymi exam in Swiss?
Does anyone know more about this, like why to opt or why not to opt for these?
All - Heard about Bilingual option in Gymnasium at Oerlikon and RMB. Looks like jods will get to study in UK partly and rest here in SWISS...
Since Swiss doesn't exist anyway, it is maybe just a fairy tale.
If you are looking for Gymnasium Nord in Zurich Switzerland : http://www.kzn.ch/cms/
Swiss doesn't exist anyway,-??? What does this mean?
Really?
There is no country called "Swiss", the term "swiss" is a noun. I also don't know about a country called "Indian", the term "indian" is also a noun.
I is Switzerland .
And it is a good thing to get out of the Huawei -Campus once in a while and learn something about the country you live in :-)
Entry into the bilingual stream is not based on the level of English but on overall grades (especially in German and Maths!). There are only limited places and entry into that class is very sought after, so only very strong students (regardless of their level of English) can join the bilingual option. So, if you have an international student with very good German and English (or French for the French bilingual stream) who is also very strong academically, yes, this is a great option.
Could someone please provide link of Billingual Gymi. I am not able to find correct one.
Every time search returns one school which has a huge fee.
Thank you

I believe other public Gymnasien have it too, e.g. Wiedikon and Küsnacht. Usually starting in Kurzgymi, i.e. from 9th grade, not Langgymi (7th). With good enough grades and if the kid thinks it‘s cool: go for it.
Thank you.. Got it ..
I was under impression that after Gymiprüfung in canton ZH - there isn't choice other than kids get allocated based on distance / zip code to given school
Not true. Before you do the test, in Stadt Zurich you give your preference of the gymnasium in Zurich. The different gymnasium's have different 'profiles' - focusing on different study options/subjects.
the regular (non-private) Gymis in Zurich have tuition in German with a possibility at 3rd Gymi to go into immersion (50% in English).
Private Gymis may offer other services and profiles.
See this list , under zweisprachige Maturität.
Given you're in Wallisellen you're probably interested in Kanti Zürich Nord (KZN, see this page ) and Rämibühl. The latter also offers the International Baccalaureat, but there's no guarantee that they'll have space for you.
Speaking in general terms, KZN is a great school (even without the immersion option).
It's a big school, which means students have a lot of options for elective subjects - my daughter, for example, was there for the Fachmittelschule and one of her elective subjects was robotics and there was a mix of students from all streams in the school in the class.
