‘Here at Swiss Academy, we believe that every child is unique, which is why we give every student a well-rounded learning experience tailored to them and their skills. We believe that the simple ‘head, hand, heart’ model first espoused by Swiss pedagogue Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi remains pivotal to a holistic education. That’s why our goal is to help our students develop over the long term, refining their academic and sporting abilities, promoting good health and encouraging personal growth. We believe that education continues beyond the classroom. Our students participate in a wide range of sporting, cultural and extra-curricular activities that reinforce what they learn through traditional teaching. This makes Swiss Academy the perfect environment for young people to fully develop their talents.’

Swiss Academy works with a contextualised and modernised version of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi's balanced educational programme, which incorporates the latest findings from brain research and research into cognitive learning.
We provide our students with a stimulating yet personal learning environment in which we nurture them individually and support them to achieve their potential.
No two sports or instruments are the same. That’s why we cater to our students’ different profiles and specific needs.
Not all talents will come to the fore at once during adolescence. If in doubt, we will decide in the best interests of the candidate and will wait to see how they progress and improve.
Something might not go to plan, or the plan may change, but this by no means puts the A Levels and the student’s future at risk.
Need more time? Exams can easily be staggered and spread across different exam sessions if required. Subjects and course units can also be repeated if necessary.
Because all teaching content is accessible digitally on our learning platform, we can we can easily absorb absences and absenteeism.
We facilitate communication between the different stakeholders (sport clubs/music and dance schools; Swiss Academy; coaches/music teachers; family; teachers; students) and ensure processes run smoothly.
Supporting students is our top priority; it’s the only way they will be equipped to reach their goals. Our heads of department (Head of Sports and Head of Music) supervise and coordinate day-to-day school and sporting/musical activities and provide extra encouragement during the more difficult times. At Swiss Academy, having a positive attitude is paramount. We also put a premium on the effective holistic development of our students.
Our sports and music-focused curricula have been specially designed for Swiss Academy and give students an engaging, in-depth and interdisciplinary understanding of the two subjects. We also provide students with an enriching, practice-based programme of supporting events (‘Sports in practice’ and ‘Music in practice’).

Dance offers challenges of all kinds and is one of the most comprehensive areas of talent anywhere. Movement, discipline, ambition, talent, aesthetics and artistic talent come together to form a perfect whole.
The Swiss Academy provides students with a variety of dance experiences. Thanks to our experienced leadership and support staff, we are able to unleash the individual and specific potential of each student by creating ideal conditions.
To give our students the best opportunity to develop, Swiss Academy Zurich offers a modular dance program.
Our dance support includes a comprehensive and differentiated approach to dance and provides a basic understanding regarding one's own body, the importance of health care and nutrition. Ambitious dancers have the opportunity to be optimally promoted in a specific stylistic direction by bringing all essential framework conditions in line with the respective training or career planning.
In addition to dance and school, the Swiss Academy places great emphasis on personal, mental and health development, which is elementary to dance.
We are pleased that you are interested in our school and your confidence in it.
