ICS is the only school in Zurich offering the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the Diploma Programme (DP) of the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO).

As an IB World School in Switzerland, ICS provides students with a solid set of flexible skills essential in meeting the academic and social challenges they face as they prepare to enter university and work towards building a secure future.

The IB maintains a hard-earned reputation for high standards of teaching, pedagogical leadership and student achievement. An international mindset develops and flourishes within the framework of the IB. 

While the IB is a global programme, the ICS difference comes from our school’s commitment to developing the whole child within our culture of learning, high expectations, and care. Students are challenged to think independently, accept personal responsibility and engage with the community.

IB Diploma Studies
ICS is an inclusive school, with all students encouraged to take the IB Diploma exams. ICS students on average earn significantly better scores than the worldwide average.
