Located near Lake Zurich, SIS Swiss International School Männedorf-Zürich is a private bilingual day school for ages 4 to 12, offering German and English instruction from Kindergarten through the 6th Primarstufe. The school serves over 120 students from more than 30 nationalities, with a flexible all-day program including lunch, morning and after-school care, and holiday clubs. The curriculum blends the cantonal Swiss primary program with elements of the British curriculum and SIS-developed materials, enabling a continuous path from Kindergarten to university entrance while bilingualism is not a prerequisite for entry. Learning is supported by technology across the curriculum, and the immersion approach allows language acquisition in context. Facilities include a cafeteria, gym, workshop, music room, library, and a spacious outdoor playground. The school runs intercountry and language activities, robotics with Ozobots, and annual sport and cultural events such as the SIS Cup and festivals. The program emphasizes language-rich collaboration, project-based learning, and international-mindedness across grades.
