Boarding fees and what they cover

- Boarding rates are set by programme (see annual amounts above). Boarding fees include accommodation typically in a twin/double room, supervision and full board (five meals per day), class instruction for mandatory subjects, study hall supervision, use of the media centre and internet (copying up to a stated limit), participation in the activities programme and use of sports facilities. Flexi‑boarding (short or weekend boarding) is available on request; temporary boarding night rates for short stays are charged separately. Storage, damage or replacement charges (e.g., lost keys or ID) are additional.

Refunds, cancellations and withdrawals

- The refundable deposit is normally returned after the student leaves and all accounts are balanced; it may be retained if there are outstanding invoices.
- For new enrolments, the one‑time admission/enrolment fee is non‑refundable. If a withdrawal occurs after specified cut‑off dates or after certain deadlines, the first instalment or other fees already paid may not be reimbursed. Fees already paid are generally not refunded for missed schooling, sickness, injury, suspension, expulsion or in the event the school must close for reasons beyond its control. The school may charge an administration fee in connection with certain contract terminations. Specific deadlines and conditions for refunds and cancellations are set out in the school's enrolment and financial conditions.

Summary notes (practical)

Institut Montana on the Zugerberg is a co-educational international day and boarding school in Switzerland for students aged 6 to 18. It offers four pathways for Grades 1–12: a Bilingual Primary School (Swiss Lehrplan 21) taught in English and German; a Bilingual Secondary School with the Swiss curriculum and English/German options; a Swiss Gymnasium leading to the Swiss Matura with bilingual pathways and language support; and an International School pathway (Grades 6–12) using Cambridge Lower Secondary/IGCSE, then the IB Diploma or a High School Diploma, with English as the main language of instruction and EAL support. The language and certification mix includes Cambridge, Goethe/DELF, and Cambridge IGCSE. The Matura pathway provides direct access to ETH Zurich, EPFL, University of St. Gallen and EHL; the IB Diploma offers global university entry. The campus sits on the pre-alpine Zugerberg, with forest surroundings and views of Lake Zug, on-site dining and health and wellbeing support, and spaces for music, choir, drama, private instrument lessons, and Model United Nations. A 2024 Innovation Hub and a planned 100-year anniversary in 2026 reflect ongoing development.
