Zürich

Academia International School is a bilingual (German/English) and English-speaking long-term secondary school (Years 7–12) that prepares students for the International A Levels. This internationally recognised qualification grants students access to universities around the world.

In Years 7 and 8, we follow both the Cambridge/Pearson Edexcel Curriculum and the Swiss Lehrplan 21. From Year 9 onwards, we transition fully to the Pearson Edexcel Curriculum, guiding students through the IGCSEs and ultimately the International A Levels.

Our schools are known for their personal atmosphere, strength-based learning environment, and open, multicultural community.

Founded in 2009 in Basel, Academia International School has continuously grown. We opened additional campuses in Zurich (2019) and Winterthur (2023).
