built
We designed the day, the space, and the culture so kids can do deep work, build real friendships, and grow quickly without unnecessary noise.

Learning culture
Great teachers make a difference — but like-minded peers do too. Children grow into the people they spend time with. We welcome a diverse mix of students, but we also hold a high bar for our learning culture. We look for kids who are curious, kind, brave, and quietly ambitious. The goal is a space where it’s normal to try, normal to fail — and normal to get better.
Expeditions
Some things can’t be learned in a classroom. Four times a year, our students go on expedition — two are physically challenging, one is service-oriented, and one is fully student-led. Guided by coaches and tied to real learning. It’s not about ticking boxes, but about building character, courage, and responsibility.
Location
We’re located in [XXXX], just outside Zurich — easy to reach by train from Zurich, Zug, and Schwyz, or by ferry from the Gold Coast.
Campus
We designed our campus for learning, not control. It feels more like a studio than a school — open, flexible, and built for focus.
Due to high demand, we schedule a short introductory call before visits.
The role of parents
We know parents have a lot on their plate. Involvement is welcome, but not required. What we do promise is clear communication. You’ll get regular, concrete updates on progress and learning habits — no generic fluff. Showcases and a few community events each year offer natural opportunities to connect — including an overnight expedition planned by the kids, with parents invited.
