Lakeside School Horgen

Welcome to our private, bilingual day schools located on Lake Zurich. Our qualified teachers and care-givers look forward to accompanying your 3-12 year old child(ren) on their educational path and challenging all their senses in the classroom. Officially recognised by the Zurich cantonal school authorities, our unique bilingual curriculum combines the learning objectives of the local curriculum (Lehrplan 21) with that of international schools thereby opening up a new world to children, which they can share with their day school friends.

In contrast to international schools we, as a bilingual school, are allowed to accept local families without any restrictions. Our schools, like the children who attend, are unique due to their individual history. We look forward to getting to know you and your children. Interested parents are very welcome for an individual visit.

Important for the children! A school where children stand in the center. A school which perceives you as you are, gives you a positive feeling of self-confidence and trust in yourself while making learning a worthwhile experience. You share the day school’s small world with both young and old children: when eating, on the playground, at assemblies and on many cross-class projects and school festivals. The teaching and support team are interested in you and share this world with you. Fair rules give us all help and security so that we are mutually respectful, tolerant and generous with each other. If there are disagreements, we look for solutions together. We are positive we will find one!

A bilingual school which doesn’t stand still and is interested in open communication. The Lakeside School possesses a clearly defined concept while remaining religiously neutral and is therefore not bound by any particular ideology. Due to this, we have a broad outlook and time to reflect and exchange ideas. Anyone interested in the fascinating model of the school finds an open ear with us. The school management and teaching staff are involved in a constant learning process themselves and are happy to consider the personal viewpoints of parents and children. As a result of their training, expertise and experience they are able to competently advise on how best to support the individual child. This commitment of getting to know and fostering each individual is very fulfilling and infectious. Due to the staff’s professionalism, children will increase their skills, knowledge and social competence.

Important for the children: topics are taught that engage and challenge you making you think, research and contribute your ideas. You and all your senses are challenged and all this in a bilingual environment. This lets you immerse yourself in the languages naturally. A whole world will open up to you.
