Extra curricular

The learning that leads to diplomas or Maturas is not everything. It is best supplemented by learning activities that are inspiring in their own right.

Students develop motivation to learn for the sake of learning, and that stays with them for life. So, co-curricular activities are more than an add-on or entertainment; they are central to the life of the school. Along the way, our young people often find talents they never imagined they had. They have the opportunities to learn and grow into confident, accomplished adults, adopting a healthy approach to life and developing skills for the future.

Being active is crucial for physical and mental health. We want our students to find what motivates them to stay fit and energised. With various options that change regularly, there’s something for everyone.

Team sport (e.g. volleyball, football, unihockey)

Tennis and badminton

Running

Fitness and zumba

Archery

Beginner swimming

Or simply making the most of our amazing natural surroundings!

Boarding

Your children will be warmly welcomed into a happy, multi-national, family-like community and cared for by experienced house parents.

Their lives will be full of fun and learning, in an environment that is safe and loving. Children need different types of support as they mature, so we adapt our programmes so that students develop into self-responsible, confident and kind people. We have three houses, two for boys and one for girls. Single/double accomodation. Each bedroom comes fully furnished with a bed, wardrobe, desk, chair, and small refrigerator, and we offer laundry service.

On weekends, our boarding students explore Switzerland, its culture and its magnificent landscape with regular visits to ski resorts during the winter. Evenings are opportunities to wind down, but there is also a programme of activities to keep everyone busy.

Overview

Institut Montana Switzerland is a fully accredited Swiss international day and boarding since 1926 and since 1987, an official IB World School. We offer four academic programmes:

  • The Bilingual Primary School (English/German, Grades 1-6)
  • The Bilingual Secondary School (English/German, Grades 7-9)
  • The International School (English, Grades 6-12)
  • Swiss Gymnasium (German or German/English, Grades 7-12)

The School’s longstanding experience in academic excellence allows us to ideally prepare students as well educated and confident individuals ready for success at world-renowned international universities.

A central location in a natural setting
The 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.

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.

Educational Philosophy
Internationalism 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.

Individual Support & College Counselling
Our students take advantage of small class groups (max. 15 students), teacher supervised study times, personal academic advisory system, one-to-one College Counselling and round-the-clock support in a family-like atmosphere.

IB Diploma Programme
The International School of Institut Montana Switzerland offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma in grades 11 and 12. The Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is offered to our students in grades 9 and 10. Non-native English speaking students are required to take special courses in English as an Additional Language until their level is deemed sufficient for them to successfully complete a college preparatory programme of studies.

Co-curricular Activites

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.
