ICS Inter-Community School Zurich

Welcome to ICS, an extraordinary international school and community that is a second home to globally mobile families living in and around Zurich. Established in 1960, we are the international school of first choice for students aged 18 months to 18 years old. We are a fully accredited International Baccalaureate (IB) World School and the only school in Zurich offering the three main programmes of the International Baccalaureate (IB). These programmes provide a continuum of learning from the early years up to Grade 12. ICS is committed to excellence in its teaching and in the programmes it offers. The school provides a world-class education taught by highly experienced and exceptional teachers in a nurturing and collaborative learning environment. As a community of learners, united by the ICS mission statement, our school stands out as it honors its diversity and embraces the best practices of global citizenship supported by the philosophy of the IB Organisation. With vast natural and cultural resources, Switzerland is a perfect environment for "learning through doing." By deliberately structuring authentic learning experiences outside the classroom, we foster students' holistic development. Field trips are an integral part of learning at ICS, giving students the chance to apply their learning, broaden their horizons and develop leadership and independence. As an international school, we welcome students of all nationalities; we currently have students from 48 countries here. We welcome applications from prospective students throughout the year. Please contact us at contact@icsz.ch if you have any questions or if you would like to arrange a visit. We are conveniently located on a single campus, situated near the Zurich city centre and easily accessed by public transportation. We also offer a school bus service. Our Admissions staff will be pleased to book your personal tour of our campus and invite you to contact them at www.icsz.ch.
