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. Getting in Touch: The first step is to get in touch via the contact form, by email, or by phone. You are welcome to visit an Open House to experience daily school life and meet the school leadership. Further information is provided, initial questions are answered, and the next suitable step for your child is discussed.
2. Consultation: A personal consultation is arranged to get to know each other. Questions are answered and the school and its educational concept are introduced, with a possible building tour to give a brief insight into classroom life. If an on-site visit is not possible, consultations can be conducted virtually, by phone, or via email.
3. Trial Days: If it feels right for both sides, one or more trial days are arranged. Trial days let your child experience everyday school life and determine comfort in the environment, and the process is non-binding. If trial days aren't possible, an alternative solution is explored.
4. Registration: You receive the registration form—digital or printed. If you decide in favour after consultations and trial days, complete the form in full and submit it to the SIS school of your choice. Support is available if you have questions.
5. School Contract: The school contract is prepared after registration, with information about the enrolment fee. After the contract is signed and the enrolment fee is received, the child is officially registered at SIS Switzerland and their place at the school is reserved.
If a year group or class is full, SIS schools maintain waiting lists. To secure a place, inquire about capacity early, preferably in the spring.
Situated between the city and Lake Zürich, SIS Zürich-Wollishofen is a private bilingual day school serving kindergarten through Year 6. With around 220 students from more than twenty nationalities, the school supports a truly international atmosphere. The curriculum follows the cantonal Swiss framework and is gradually integrated with elements of the British curriculum and curricula developed by SIS, delivered by German-speaking and English-speaking teachers who use their native languages to communicate. In the bilingual primary, students acquire language skills in a natural environment, laying a foundation for lifelong competence. The campus comprises two buildings: a historic kindergarten and a modern primary building that houses the library and cafeteria. A private garden and proximity to a large park offer pleasant outdoor spaces, with good public transport access. Signature SIS events and Räbeliechtli-Umzug traditions connect this campus to SIS schools worldwide. Facilities include a library, on-site meals, and bus transport for families.
