A few practical questions
The everyday
details.
What if English is not our first language?
The school offers English as an Additional Language support. Ask admissions how support is assessed and provided for your child’s year group.
Are there activities and after-school care?
The school lists extracurricular activities across sports, arts, languages and technology. Its fee page lists after-school care from 15:05 to 18:15, Monday to Friday, at CHF 15 per hour. Confirm availability and current arrangements directly.
What about transport and meals?
School transport and lunches are listed on the official fee schedule. Ask about your route, year-group arrangements, dietary needs and any compulsory services before enrolment.
Where do I find term dates?
Use the official Parent Essentials page and the school’s calendar rather than relying on dates in an independent guide.
