Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Contact and initial discussion. Inquiries can be made by phone at 044 310 10 67, by email, or via the contact form. A preliminary meeting is normally conducted so the student and the school can get to know each other. This meeting helps determine whether Academic Gateway is the right path for the student.
2. Suitability assessment. A suitability assessment is conducted with all interested applicants to determine if this is the right path. In addition to high resilience and perseverance, applicants should have solid language skills in German, English, and another national language (French or Italian), as well as basic mathematics. This assessment helps confirm readiness for the program.
3. Enrollment and contract. Enrollment can be initiated by signing the school contract by phone, email, or via the contact form. Alternatively, students can enroll directly for Matura, BMS, or Passerelle. This step formalizes admission to the chosen program.
4. Start date and deadlines. The enrollment deadline runs until the official school start, and late enrollments may be accepted in some cases. For questions about the program or to arrange a non-binding discussion, call 044 310 10 67. After enrollment, the student joins the program according to the official start date.
Academic Gateway AG is a private school in central Zurich, at Löwenstrasse 17, 8001 Zürich. Opened in August 2021, the schoolhouse houses 14 rooms and technologies for hybrid learning. The school offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (DP) alongside Swiss curricular routes such as Matura, BMS, Passerelle, and Self-study. Most lessons are in English, with German widely used among the community and French, Italian, and Spanish present in the educational heritage. The curriculum uses an inquiry-based, transdisciplinary approach that connects subjects to real-world contexts. Diploma students undertake external IB examinations, with progress shared through reports and conferences. EduQua certification recognizes the school's commitment to quality education and a digitally enabled environment. The learning model combines lectures and small practice groups, supported by e-learning and a broad range of elective subjects. Campus facilities include a library, a music room, chemistry and physics laboratories, a design room, a terrace, and a canteen.
