Whether in the mountains or in an urban environment, Swiss Boarding Schools Disentis & Zurich provide a safe and comfortable home for your child during his or her school years. In the friendly, yet performance-oriented, atmosphere of our English-language boarding schools, our learners can develop their skills and prepare for their International A Levels – a qualification that opens the doors to the world’s most prestigious universities.

IGCSE & International A-Levels

CITY CAMPUS GENERAL ACTIVITIES

There are almost no limits to the sporting activities available in Winterthur: in addition to ice hockey, ice skating, tennis, athletics, football and American football, there is a gym hall for handball and floorball on site. We cooperate with local clubs that strongly encourage young sportspeople and whose athletes are repeatedly represented at world and European championships. We work with the Winterthur Conservatory to support young people with musical ambitions.

Weekends

At weekends, we organise communal activities in Winterthur and the surrounding area, arrange movie nights and much more. We also benefit from the wide range of cultural activities offered in the greater Zurich area with its diverse museums, theatre performances, sporting events and concerts, and various city festivals.

Holidays

During the autumn, ski and spring holidays, we offer one-day and multi-day excursions, communal activities, and various sports activities.
