From the senior years, pupils choose between the Swiss Matura, the IB Diploma and an American-style high school diploma, building on a bilingual German-English primary and secondary programme. Small classes and a low pupil-to-teacher ratio allow programmes to be shaped around individual strengths. The school has been an IB World School since 1987.
The hilltop setting above the town of Zug gives the school an unusually self-contained campus shared by day and boarding pupils. Boarding houses sit alongside the teaching buildings, and the small overall roll keeps the community close-knit. Mountain surroundings support an active, outdoor rhythm to the week.
Co-curricular life includes performing arts such as choir, drama and instrumental tuition, Model United Nations and a range of sports making use of the alpine location.
Admission is by application to the school, with a refundable deposit payable on entry.
