I am delighted to welcome you to the International School of Schaffhausen.

The ISSH has been set up to provide quality primary and secondary education to the international community in the Schaffhausen and Zurich North-East area. We currently offer classes from nursery (age 3) through to grade 9 (age 15). We are an authorized IB World school offering the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the Middle Years Programme (MYP). The language of instruction is English.

Why should you choose to send your child to the ISSH?

Are you looking for a school with small classes and a family-like atmosphere? You'll be delighted with our location, a historic building situated on the outskirts of Schaffhausen. The former hostel has been adapted to the needs of a school with modern IT equipment in all classrooms, an exciting playground, a spacious library, a creative arts room and many more stimulating and exciting features to discover.

Are you looking for a school that follows a high quality curriculum combined with modern methods of teaching?

Our teachers have undergone thorough training and are very dedicated to keep your child enthused, interested and eager to learn.

Currently, there are about 150 students enrolled in the Primary and Middle School. We will offer the full programme including grades 10-12 in the near future. Grade 10 will be implemented in August 2010.

Please feel free to have a look at our school. Just call us, so that we can schedule a mutually agreable meeting time.

I look forward to meeting you and your family.

Gundula Kohlhaas

Head of School
