Equipping young people for the future is both a bold responsibility and a thrilling opportunity—one we take to heart at the International School of Switzerland. In a world that’s evolving faster than ever, we’re here to ensure your child thrives, not just academically, but in every aspect of life.

Welcome to the start of your child’s transformative journey with us. On behalf of our entire school community, I extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to you and your family.

Nestled in the stunning surroundings of Lugano, Switzerland—a city where Italian, German, and French cultures intertwine—we offer a truly unique setting for learning and growth. As someone raising my own family here, I can personally attest to the incredible blend of tradition and progress this community offers.

At the International School of Switzerland, we’re not just shaping students; we’re crafting world-ready, global citizens and exceptional individuals. Our values, represented by K.I.N.D.—Kindness, Innovation, Navigation, and Discovery—are woven into every aspect of our school life. These principles aren’t just ideas; they are the foundation for preparing your child to lead with authenticity, courage, and purpose.

Here, education goes beyond academics. We inspire students to discover their unique strengths, explore their passions, and uncover who they truly are. Through Kindness, we cultivate empathy and respect as core virtues. With Innovation, we develop critical and creative thinkers ready to solve the world’s challenges. Through Navigation, we teach them to chart their own paths with confidence and resilience. And through Discovery, we open the door to a world of opportunities, equipping them to thrive beyond the classroom.

It’s not just about producing excellent students; it’s about nurturing extraordinary people. Your child’s greatness will be defined not only by their achievements but by their capacity to lead with kindness, make meaningful contributions, and inspire change.

With state-of-the-art facilities, a rigorous and forward-thinking curriculum, and a dedicated community of educators and families, the International School of Switzerland is where your child’s potential will flourish. Together, we’ll ensure they grow into confident, compassionate, and creative leaders prepared to shape the future.

We look forward to welcoming you to our school and partnering with you in this exciting journey.

Your K.I.N.D.ness is your greatness,

The International School of Switzerland Principal
