KIBS does not require students to take an exam. KIBS believes it is important to meet your child and get to know him/her. Your child may be invited for a trial day to see how he/she interact within the group. Important for us is to ensure that the child feels comfortable within the group and school environment.

If the child participates in a trial day at our school, it will have the opportunity to experience the environment, which will also help the teachers recommend the most suitable class based on their language experience.

KIBS prides itself to be able to offer families in the Zürich area an international and national education that places the child at the centre of learning. The children are engaged in meaningful experiences that challenge and promote academic excellence.

In order to offer a curriculum which meets the needs of its pupils, KIBS has developed its own tailored program which incorporates learning skills and objectives from international curriculums as well as the learning objectives of Canton Zürich. All subjects are taught through a cross- curricular medium, which creates a meaningful base on which to build a strong learning platform. The curriculum promotes critical thinking and independent problem solving skills. KIBS encourages its pupils to develop a degree of independence and to take responsibility for themselves.
