We've been waiting a long time to share this one: Lumos School has a home.

Where it all begins: On August 31, 2026 we open these doors to our founding cohort, and we can't wait.

📍 Location

Our school is located at Soodring 33 in Adliswil and opens on August 31, 2026. From Zurich it's easily reachable:

• By train: 13 minutes on the S4 from Zurich HB to Sood-Oberleimbach, with trains every 10 minutes

• By car: 15 minutes

The indoor learning space spans 853 m² and the adjacent outdoor area adds another 750 m². For sport, the Tüfi sports and athletics facility is close by.

✨ A first look inside

Our architects and building team are working hard to get the space ready. A huge thank you to Marco and William at Plan C Architecture, who are leading the build, and to Janine at Studio H, who designed the interiors.

Floorplan (853 m² indoor space, 750 m² outdoor space): Our space is calm, full of light, and designed for children to learn deeply while also moving freely. It includes community spaces, Free Work areas where students engage in personalized learning, a maker/science/art lab where they can experiment and create, as well as hangout spaces and breakout rooms for group work.

Community space: The heart of Lumos School - a space for community gatherings, morning meetings, showcases. Every few weeks students stand up here and present their work to parents and peers. At Lumos, work isn't finished until you can explain it to a real audience. That's how children learn to think clearly and speak with confidence.

Outdoor area: Directly off the school community space. On breaks and on sunny days, learning moves outside. We believe fresh air and movement are part of how children learn best, not a reward for sitting still.

Library & humanities classroom: For reading and focused individual work and also for humanities workshops. Personalized learning means every child spends a large part of each day working at exactly their own level and pace. Much of that quiet, concentrated work happens here.

Maker space & science lab: For creating, experimenting, and building real things. Children learn deeply when they make something, test it, watch it fail, and make it better. This space exists for exactly that.

Breakout rooms: Small rooms for small teams. In the real world, meaningful work gets done by small groups solving hard problems together. Our projects and challenges work the same way.

Younger years: Our 1st through 3rd grade students get a calm, dedicated space of their own. This is where they build strong foundations in reading, writing, and numbers, and something just as important: the habit of figuring things out for themselves.
