Four-Forest is a bilingual day school for children from 3-13 years of age. The school offers an inviting and friendly environment with a family atmosphere, where your child's learning experience can be nurtured in small class sizes.

Four-Forest aims to challenge each child to develop and flourish within the classroom, providing an environment where children are happy, confident and well supported.

The school follows a unique curriculum, which has been carefully put together using the local Swiss curriculum of Canton Lucerne and elements from the British ‘National Curriculum’. The children are taught equally in both English and German on a weekly basis (one week German, one week English). All Grades are taught by two fully qualified and experienced mother-tongue teachers. This curriculum begins in Pre-School with the 3-year old children and is followed by all children until 6th Grade, guaranteeing a high-quality bilingual education.

Through being exposed to both languages in a natural setting, the languages are acquired irrespective of the child’s mother-tongue. Four-Forest, therefore, caters equally for children from both Swiss and International families.

School hours are from 8.30am - 3.15pm. Four-Forest offers an ‘Early Bird’ club from 7.45am and various after-school activities until 6.00pm.

Your child can benefit.

Children's World successfully operates nursery schools and kindergartens in several Swiss cities. In each location we focus on bilingual educational development based on the Montessori philosophy.

The two-stage concept for children age 6 months to 3 years and 3 to 6 years

To meet the demand for education in our modern, globally-oriented world we have decided to offer the internationally recognized learning method Montessori with „Help me to do it myself“ as one of the most important findings of a holistic enhancement in German and English.

Opening hours: Monday to Friday 07.30 am to 6 pm.

Pioneering role
Bilingual education meets the requirements of a globalised world. The bilingual education programmes at Freies Gymnasium Zürich have been developed with this in mind. In the year 2000, Freies Gymnasium Zürich was the first school in the Canton of Zurich to offer a bilingual Progymnasium, in collaboration with the Lakeside School in Küsnacht. Furthermore, Freies Gymnasium Zürich has carried out pioneering work in bilingual education by offering students the opportunity to choose a bilingual study programme in the upper school of the Gymnasium.

From Kindergarten to Swiss Matura
This means that, together with the Lakeside School in Küsnacht, Freies Gymnasium Zürich can offer truly bilingual education from Kindergarten right through to Matura. Teaching is in accordance with the immersion principle with equal amounts of German and English. Good knowledge of both English and German is required for entrance since German and English lessons are conducted at mother-tongue level. This distinguishes our programme from that of other schools.

Integration
A bilingual education prepares students for international networking in studies and career. For young people with an international background, a bilingual education does not just offer language advantages but also the chance to become integrated in Switzerland, both socially and culturally.

Preparatory Class 1 following grade 5 of the primary school (6th and 7th school year)

Progymnasium: monolingual or bilingual (7th and 8th school year)

Hands-On Kids English Center was founded in 2002 by April Bernhardsgrütter, a qualified teacher and school administrator (principal) from the USA, and Sibylle Klob-Treu, a Swiss business major. The goal was to provide native English speaking families as well as non-native English speaking families the opportunity to participate in activities in English together. As the Center grew, the need for activities in Swiss German became apparent and then available, which provided the basis for bilingual education for children from 2 to 7 years old.
For children, we offer such classes as:

Parent & Child Playgroups
