Resource
We believe that a transformative school experience should go beyond the classroom.
At ZIS, we help your child discover a lifelong love of learning. But we also help them to become a more active, creative, confident and broad-minded individual.
We do this through activities, events, and other opportunities which prepares them for success, and helps them discover who they are.
Our fees include:
- A broad and inspiring co-curricular program
- Trips and activities to help your child engage with what they learn
- German language tuition
- Equipment including iPads or PC notebooks up to Grade 8
- Student and Learning Support Services (excluding Occupational Therapy, and Speech and Language Therapy)
- Support with English as an Additional Language (EAL)
We also provide a range of additional services at extra cost for families, including lunch, transport to and from school, and after-school care.
Fees for external examinations such as the AP and IB exams are not included in our annual fees.
Our alumni are making an impact
