Welcoming you to the Community
Parents' Association
The Parents’ Association partners with school to help build community. As new families arrive, we assist you with getting to know other ZIS community members and settling into life here.
The Parents' Association has a network of representatives within the parent body for Zurich's different residential areas and neighboring towns and villages, as well as representatives for different nationalities.
Area and Nationality Representatives offer new and existing families a warm welcome to ZIS and host a minimum of two social engagements per school year as well as participating in WorldFest, our annual celebration of international culture.

Events for New Families
In early September, new families are invited to a New Family Welcome event hosted in conjunction with the Parents' Association. This is an opportunity to get to know other new families while also meeting members of the Board of Trustees, Leadership Team and Parents' Association to learn more about the school. New parents will also find out how to join the PA and various social clubs and school events.
This is followed by the annual all school Welcome BBQ, which is a wonderful opportunity for all ZIS families to get together and celebrate the start of the new school year.
Meet the Director Events
At the start of the school year, new parents are invited to attend a Meet the Director event, an informal small group meeting with the ZIS Director to learn more about the school's strategic direction and the ZIS community.
