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.

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.

🎉 Samar Kashyap (ISZN Grade 1 Student) Shortlisted in Global Maths Storytelling Competition! 🎉

We are so proud to celebrate Samar Kashyap, a curious and creative Grade 1 student here at ISZN, whose story “The Tally Challenge” has been shortlisted in the 2025 Young Mathematical Story Authors (YMSA) Competition! 🏅📖📊

Samar’s story follows Tom, a student given the task of scoring a school sports camp. He rises to the challenge using clear, clever tally charts. It is a playful and thoughtful way to show how maths can be part of everyday life.

“I like all the sports in it and I tried to make tallies understandable in a fun way… I would like all maths teachers to let kids make stories out of math to make math easier and more fun!” – Samar, age 7

The judges praised Samar’s original idea, the clarity of his diagrams, and the message that everyone can take part — not just the athletes. We could not agree more.

Well done, Samar. You have shown us how powerful young voices can be when learning meets creativity. 👏🌟
