Facilities & Location

Ready for a nurturing learning environment

Our Primary and Secondary schools share a newly remodelled campus with modern amenities. Conveniently located near Wallisellen train station, the campus is easily accessible from various directions.

Our big and bright classrooms and the modern technical equipment lay the foundation for a nurturing learning environment.

Take a virtual tour

I have highly recommended ISZN to several friends and expats on arrival in Switzerland. An excellent school and I am very appreciative of the support they have provided.

EXTRA CURRICULAR & CLUBS

Ready to explore all their talents

We believe that co-curricular activities form a crucial part of the learning of our students, as they help them to find a passion, which is something that every student should be aiming for.

Getting out of their comfort zones will enable them to gain soft skills which will be useful in all areas of their lives.

💥 What Happens When Young Minds Meet Big Ideas?

Earlier this week, Grade 6 students from ISZN and @fourforestschools took a front-row seat at an entrepreneurial adventure like no other! 🚀💡 Hosted by @lsegenerate, this wasn’t just a session—it was a spark that ignited the dreams of future CEOs, innovators, and trailblazers. 🌍✨

🎙️ Highlights of the Day:

🏎️ Monisha Kaltenborn broke barriers as F1’s first female CEO and shared the grit it takes to lead in high-speed motorsport.
🧠 Konstantin Struck showed how technology and mental health innovation are changing lives.
💼 Saad Khalid made banking and data science exciting with his groundbreaking startup Labelata.
💄 Vanessa Wang proved that beauty and business can thrive together with FreshMask.

This day was all about turning “What ifs” into “Why nots”—a masterclass in resilience, creativity, and leadership. The future is in safe (and ambitious!) hands. 🙌

Swipe through the photos and celebrate the next generation of big thinkers and bold leaders. 🌟
