Die International School Zurich North (ISZN) bietet qualitativ hochwertige Bildung f\u00fcr Kinder im Alter von 3 Monaten bis 18 Jahren. Unser moderner Campus liegt in der N\u00e4he des Bahnhofs Wallisellen - nur zwei Haltestellen vom Z\u00fcrcher Hauptbahnhof entfernt - und bietet helle, ger\u00e4umige Klassenzimmer und fortschrittliche Einrichtungen, die ein inspirierendes und effektives Lernen unterst\u00fctzen.<\/p>\n
ISZN bietet einen kompletten britischen Lehrplan von der Vorschule bis zum Abitur. In den ersten Jahren profitieren die Kinder von einer zweisprachigen Grundlage in Englisch und Deutsch von der Vorschule bis zum Kindergarten 1, bevor sie in Englisch mit dem britischen Lehrplan fortfahren. Im Vorschul- und Grundschulalter kombiniert der britische Ansatz spielerische Entdeckungen mit einer klaren Progression in den Bereichen Lesen, Schreiben und Rechnen und bietet den Kindern so eine solide Grundlage f\u00fcr das zuk\u00fcnftige Lernen.<\/p>\n
In den Middle Years folgen die Sch\u00fcler einem breit gef\u00e4cherten und ausgewogenen Lehrplan, der die F\u00e4cher vertieft und gleichzeitig unabh\u00e4ngiges Denken und Probleml\u00f6sen f\u00f6rdert. Mit spezialisierten Lehrern, einer strukturierten Progression und der M\u00f6glichkeit, Interessen zu vertiefen, entwickeln die Sch\u00fcler die akademische Disziplin und das Selbstvertrauen, das sie f\u00fcr die IGCSE-Phase ben\u00f6tigen. Diese sorgf\u00e4ltige Vorbereitung gew\u00e4hrleistet einen reibungslosen \u00dcbergang in die letzte Phase des Studiums.<\/p>\n
Auf der Sekundarstufe erwerben die Sch\u00fclerinnen und Sch\u00fcler IGCSEs und A-Levels, Abschl\u00fcsse, die f\u00fcr ihre akademische Strenge und weltweite \u00dcbertragbarkeit anerkannt sind. Diese Abschl\u00fcsse \u00f6ffnen die T\u00fcren zu f\u00fchrenden Universit\u00e4ten in der Schweiz, darunter die ETH Z\u00fcrich, und zu Spitzeneinrichtungen weltweit.<\/p>\n
Das Wohlbefinden steht im Mittelpunkt des Sch\u00fclerlebens am ISZN, mit einer unterst\u00fctzenden Atmosph\u00e4re, die Freundlichkeit, Respekt und Belastbarkeit sch\u00e4tzt. Unser lebendiges au\u00dferschulisches Programm erweitert das Lernen \u00fcber das Klassenzimmer hinaus, mit St\u00e4rken in den Bereichen Theater, Kunst, Musik und Leistungssport, neben M\u00f6glichkeiten wie privatem Musikunterricht, Codierung und Robotik. Kleine Klassengr\u00f6\u00dfen und ein engagiertes Lehrerteam sorgen f\u00fcr eine pers\u00f6nliche Betreuung und eine reibungslose Integration jedes Kindes, auch derjenigen, die in der Mitte des Jahres neu hinzukommen.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Early Years (3 months \u2013 5 years)
\nOur Early Years provision begins in Nursery and extends through Kindergarten 1. Children benefit from a dual language foundation in English and German, alongside the British Early Years framework, which blends structured play with early literacy and numeracy. Learning takes place in a nurturing, international environment that fosters curiosity, creativity, and strong social-emotional skills, preparing children for a confident transition into Primary.<\/p>\n
Primary School (KG2 \u2013 Grade 5)
\nIn Primary, students follow the British Curriculum within a skills-based framework that emphasises enquiry, creativity, and critical thinking. Core programmes such as White Rose Maths and Read Write Inc. Literacy ensure measurable progression, while a rigorous German curriculum further strengthens language skills. This combination provides a solid academic foundation, encouraging curiosity and independence while supporting each child\u2019s individual learning journey.<\/p>\n
Middle Years (Grades 6 \u2013 8)
\nThe Middle Years curriculum offers breadth and challenge, with a strong focus on Mathematics, Science, Languages, and Humanities. Students continue to develop enquiry and research skills through projects such as the Grade Challenge Programmes, fostering independence and critical thinking. Creativity and personal growth are supported through the Arts, PSHE, and Physical Education. Leadership, resilience, and teamwork are further strengthened through opportunities such as the Duke of Edinburgh\u2019s Award.<\/p>\n
IGCSE (Grades 9 \u2013 10)
\nOur IGCSE programme balances academic rigour with flexibility, combining core subjects with student choice to reflect individual strengths and interests. This internationally recognised qualification equips students with the discipline, knowledge, and transferable skills they need to excel at A-Level and beyond. Careful guidance and robust support ensure every learner can thrive and pursue their goals with confidence.<\/p>\n
A-Level Programme (Grades 11 \u2013 12)
\nStudents specialise in three subjects of their choice, following the internationally respected Cambridge and Edexcel A-Levels. The A-Level pathway allows for deep exploration of subjects, strong academic preparation, and university-level skill development. Options such as the Independent Project Qualification (IPQ) further extend research and analytical ability. Graduates progress to leading universities in Switzerland, including ETH Zurich, and to top institutions worldwide.<\/p>\n","extra_curricula_description":"
