Curriculum

Instruction at the Swiss School follows the Curriculum of the Canton of Zug and of the Canton Valais. This provides a well-rounded education in German/ French and English.

At age 2, our youngest students begin their school education in Little Tots. Up to age 4/5, they are primarily instructed in English with German/ French being introduced gradually. Playgroups I und II are conducted as mixed-age classes.

Thereafter, students start Kindergarten, which is part of the Primary School. Swiss national teachers and English-speaking specialist subject teachers prepare students in both German/French and English.

In Primary 1, reading and writing will be taught in German/French and English. Supplementary subjects such as Science and Swimming are taught in English. Moving up to the higher grades, English gradually increases, providing a smooth transition from Primary 6 to the United World College of South East Asia (UWCSEA).
