Private Gymnasium at ISCS is the alternative route to University that we offer to motivated students. When students reach Year 9 of the local Swiss Educational System, they often find they would prefer to continue with their further education rather than an Apprenticeship.

Many students are unable to continue their Education in the Swiss system as a result of the challenging entry requirements and limited capacity, particularly when German isn’t their first language. This is where we come in.

Students will study IGCSE qualifications, then A Level qualifications, which will allow them to access leading University courses, both in Switzerland and Internationally. These qualifications are rigorous, academic and highly regarded by businesses around the World.

This educational route is a recognised by employers and will be well-suited to students interested in entering into a range of careers and professions; particularly in a business-rich environment such as Zug.

Both Swiss and International students have the opportunity to thrive at ISCS, the British School of Zug. It is a system that offers specialist knowledge and more flexibility than the Swiss Matura.
