Do you know anything about the following schools?
ICS in zumikon, ZIS in adliswil ISZL in Zug and institut montana in zugerberg.
Thanks a lot
Hallo I am moving to Zurich area in June. I have two daughters middle and high school.
If only there was a way of searching this forum to find information.
I visited ZIS which seemed very good
we chose to live in Baar so chose ISZL which is very good !
Hope that helps
Definitely depends on where you would be living.
Both ZIS and ICS are well respected and sought after schools by expats.
ICS has middle and upper schools in buildings all within quick walking distance of each other in Zumikon.
ZIS has a middle school campus in Kilchberg, and also in Baden and the Upper school in Adliswil.
Each school is on either side of the lake, within Zurich area.
People feel ICS has more of a "British" feel and ZIS an "American" feel, although both a very international indeed.
We visited both and they each have a different vibe. Best to visit and see where you feel more comfortable. One difference to consider is that ICS only has the IB system when they reach the upper years. ZIS has both the IB and AP systems.
ZIS did not have a place for my older son. Unfortunately, they were not very kind to him when they explained this. They misunderstood his requirements and once that was cleared up, they changed their tune, but it left a bad taste in our minds.
Fortunately for us ICS had room and our sons both liked the school. We have been there for three years and very happy. The school has been a great experience for our children and given them strengths that they would not have developed in the States.
I hope this helps.
