International School – Zurich North

Welcome to ISZN! At the International School Zurich North our provision is built upon a commitment to understanding each individual child.

Choosing a school for your son or daughter is one of the most important decisions a parent must make. At ISZN our provision is built upon a commitment to understanding and meeting the needs of each individual child; we endeavor to nurture happy, confident young people, imbued with a sense of social responsibility that will last a lifetime.

ISZN prides itself on being an inclusive community, diverse in nationalities, talents and personal characteristics. We focus on what children can do, not what they can’t do. Thanks to our small class sizes, provision can be tailored to cultivate individual strengths and ameliorate individual weaknesses. At the heart of any great school is its faculty. Our team of specialist and dedicated teachers, drawn from across five continents, provide the inspiration and support our pupils need to realize their life goals.

A commitment to scholarship is complemented by exceptional pastoral care and a flourishing co-curricular offering. Our Maker Space provision is a core component of our curriculum, whilst every opportunity is taken to move learning beyond the confines of the classroom walls.

At the heart of our ethos and underpinning everything we do is our mission statement. We encourage all members of our community to be lifelong learners with endless curiosity and passion for discovery. We inspire open-minded and globally aware pupils, who show respect and willingness to champion positive changes. We are committed to challenging ourselves and celebrating our intellectual, creative and physical successes.

We aim to educate children in interculturality, using dance as a resource at all stages of primary education through a programme that we call Morning Move. The Morning Move Programme is a teaching proposition which encompasses dance, customs, geography and languages.

Children learn to live together and to get to know each other through their bodies, generating personal well-being and promoting their intercultural education.
