Co-Curricular

Every student explores a wide range of co-curricular activities, from arts to sports, from STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) to Model United Nations. Because exploring is a vital part of growing. We encourage students to try new things, so that they can discover who they really want to be.

After School Activities

The Wädenswil Campus co-curricular program is offered to all students in the Bilingual and International Pathways from the end of Kindergarten 1 to Grade 5 and activities are included in the tuition fees. 

Grade 6 students at the Adliswil Campus can sign up for a range of co-curricular and sporting activities. 

Activities are offered by different grade levels and students in both programs participate in the same activities.

The program offers activities, athletics (competitive and non-competitive), and leadership opportunities and is run over three seasons - Fall (August to November), Winter (November to March) and Spring (March to June). In addition, there are privately-run activities on campus, such as private mother tongue language clubs.

To allow for a greater focus on age/developmentally-appropriate activities:

  • Kindergarten students can choose Kindergarten Lions Club up to two times per week.  This is available for Kindergarten 2 students in the Winter season (November to March) and Spring season (March to June) and Kindergarten 1 students in the Spring season (March to June) only.
  • Grade 1 to Grade 3 can choose two activities each season.
  • Grade 4 can choose two activities each season
  • Grade 5 can choose up to three activities each season, the third one being an all year-long "leadership opportunity" activity
  • Private mother tongue language clubs are counted as an additional activity. There may be a fee for these sessions.
  • Grade 6 students sign up for their chosen activities at the Clubs and Activities Fair at the Adliswil Campus which takes place during a lunchtime shortly before the season starts.
