Opgericht in 1960, zijn wij de eerste keus internationale school in Z\u00fcrich voor leerlingen van 3 tot 18 jaar. Onze onderwijstaal is Engels en alle leerlingen leren Duits, de taal van ons gastland. We ondersteunen leerlingen met een beperkte kennis van het Engels via ons programma 'Engels als tweede taal' (EAL). Onze kleuterschool omvat een tweetalige Engels\/Duits-component en meer dan 35 procent van onze afgestudeerden behaalt het gerenommeerde tweetalige IB-diploma. ICS-leerlingen scoren consistent ruim boven het wereldwijde gemiddelde op de extern beoordeelde IB-examens en zijn goed voorbereid op vervolgopleidingen. ICS streeft naar uitmuntendheid in haar onderwijs en in de programma's die ze aanbiedt. De school biedt onderwijs van wereldklasse, gegeven door zeer ervaren en uitzonderlijke docenten in een stimulerende en collaboratieve leeromgeving. Als leergemeenschap, verenigd door de missie van ICS, onderscheidt onze school zich doordat ze haar diversiteit respecteert en de beste praktijken van wereldburgerschap omarmt, ondersteund door de filosofie van de IB-organisatie.<\/p>\n<p>Met zijn enorme natuurlijke en culturele rijkdommen is Zwitserland een perfecte omgeving voor 'leren door te doen'. Door bewust authentieke leerervaringen buiten de klas te structureren, bevorderen we de holistische ontwikkeling van leerlingen. Excursies zijn een integraal onderdeel van het leren bij ICS en geven leerlingen de kans om hun kennis toe te passen, hun horizon te verbreden en leiderschap en onafhankelijkheid te ontwikkelen.<\/p>\n<p>Als internationale school verwelkomen we leerlingen van alle nationaliteiten; we hebben momenteel leerlingen uit 48 landen. We verwelkomen het hele jaar door aanmeldingen van toekomstige leerlingen. Neem contact met ons op via contact@icsz.ch als u vragen heeft of een bezoek wilt regelen.<\/p>\n<p>We zijn gunstig gelegen op \u00e9\u00e9n campus, vlakbij het centrum van Z\u00fcrich en gemakkelijk bereikbaar met het openbaar vervoer.
