Dual Language Programme
English-German

The Dual Language Programme offers students instruction in their first (“home”) language (English or German), while providing the opportunity to learn in and about a second (“target”) language. 

Each Dual Language class will have dedicated full-time Teachers and Teaching Assistants (English and German). Students will be greeted and settled in by the same two Core Teachers each day and will then transition to an English-language or German-language focus on alternate days. Each class will have one of their Core Teachers or Teacher Assistants with them at all times. 

*TA: Teaching Assistant

Our weekly “Waldkinder” is an integral part of our curriculum, where the outdoors becomes our classroom! Learning in an outdoor environment allows children to interact with the elements around them and helps them to gain a deeper understanding of the world we live in. It is also an important way for our students to connect to our host country Switzerland’s environment and make connections to the local community.
