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.
