Cities / Zurich / International School of Central Switzerland

International School of Central Switzerland



  • Cambridge International school in Cham, Canton Zug, serving a small cohort of around 130 students aged 3 to 18 from more than 30 nationalities.
  • Parent reviews on independent directories describe teachers as kind, professional and caring, with consistent comments about children's growing confidence and a supportive, friendly community.
  • Small class sizes and individualised learning are the most-cited strengths; parents say staff identify each child's strengths and weaknesses early and tailor work accordingly.
  • Facilities are described as modern and purpose-built, with interactive whiteboards in classrooms and laptop access for pupils.
  • Parent involvement is positioned as a deliberate part of school culture, with families reporting that the school keeps them included in decisions and day-to-day life.

Positives

  • Teachers. Repeatedly described by parents as caring, professional and skilled at building children's confidence.
  • Class size and individualisation. Parents value small cohorts that allow staff to know each child and adjust teaching to their level.
  • Facilities. New, purpose-built site with interactive whiteboards and one-to-one device access.
  • Parent involvement. School positioned as inclusive of parents in school life and decisions, which families confirm.

Considerations

  • Scale. Total enrolment of around 130 students is small for an international school, with all that implies for cohort breadth and competitive sport.
