Our offer: Private schooling for middle- and high school students in Thalwil
Our program is designed for middle and high school students who want to learn in a calm, manageable, and supportive environment. We follow the standard curriculum and, where necessary, adapt lessons to individual needs. This allows us to enable individual learning paths which specifically address the needs of our children and young people.
Learning in a personal and respectful community
With us, every child is part of a close-knit, caring, and supportive community. Personal relationships are central, because we are convinced that learning is most successful where children feel recognised, understood, and taken seriously. Anonymity and impersonal strictness have no place here. Instead, we create an environment that provides security and fosters trust.
Managing our daily routine
A structured school day with time for development
Our lessons take place in a compact and child-friendly schedule, from 8:30 am to 1:40 pm. This clear, predictable timetable ensures calm and leaves enough time in the afternoon for hobbies, therapies or additional support, without any hustle and bustle.
Learn and grow safely and securely
Intermediate level
Grades 4 to 6 including the transfer year: 6 to 10 children per class; standard curriculum or individualised support
In the middle school, we closely support our children and gradually reinforce their independence. A love of learning, security, and personal development are our top priorities.

Well prepared for the future
Good prospects for their future
Our students are well-prepared for their future careers. Whether securing an apprenticeship or further education, our individual support usually helps them find exactly the path they seek.
