A central location in a natural setting
\nThe campus of Institut Montana is located on the Zugerberg mountain, only 15 minutes by public transport from the city of Zug and less than one hour away from Zurich with its international airport. We take full advantage of our unique location, which offers both privacy and calm in a natural setting, while being centrally located near international cities.<\/p>\n
Our campus is more than a school, it can be your mountain home! In a land where other international schools also enjoy the peace and beauty of Switzerland, our location stands out.<\/p>\n
Educational Philosophy
\nInternationalism and individualised attention are cornerstones of our educational philosophy. The school was founded on humanist principles by Dr Max Husmann in 1926. Today, the school serves 380+ students from over 55 different nations. As more than 90% of our students have a first language other than English, courses in a variety of languages are made available to ensure personal and educational development. More than half of our students are boarding students.<\/p>\n
Individual Support & College Counselling IB Diploma Programme Co-curricular Activites<\/p>\n Our balanced and diverse activities programme revolves around sports, creativity and culture. Co-curricular offers involve on and off campus activities, with travel opportunities. The Student Council, the Entrepreneurship and MUN programme and various other programmes empower the students to actively contribute to the school life and gain important experiences for their later life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Institut Montana Zugerberg is a fully accredited Swiss\u00a0international boarding school for 90 years now and since 1987 an official\u00a0IB World School.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":318,"featured_media":130464,"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"region":[14507,14542,14508,14824],"student-age":[14557,14558],"type-of-school":[14545,14528],"gender":[14529],"curricula":[14975,14530,14572,14620],"language-lessons":[14533,14531,14599,14532,14551,14552,14576],"language-of-instruction":[14602,14534,14606],"religion":[],"examination":[14539,14540,14870,14538,15139],"special-needs":[],"class_list":["post-110040","schools","type-schools","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","region-europe","region-switzerland","region-western-europe","region-zug","student-age-6-12-yo","student-age-13-19-yo","type-of-school-boarding-school","type-of-school-international-school","gender-co-education","curricula-cambridge-curriculum","curricula-uk-curriculum","curricula-ib","curricula-swiss-curriculum","language-lessons-chinese","language-lessons-german","language-lessons-english","language-lessons-french","language-lessons-italian","language-lessons-japanese","language-lessons-spanish","language-of-instruction-german","language-of-instruction-english","language-of-instruction-bilingual","examination-cambridge","examination-delf","examination-ib-diploma","examination-igcse","examination-swiss-matura"],"yoast_head":"\n
