A global community, a personal journey
World-class IB education in Switzerland, rooted in community
We provide a globally recognised education that prepares students to succeed in an ever-changing world. As an IB World School, ISSH fosters academic excellence, critical thinking, and intercultural understanding.
In our caring community, both day students and boarders are encouraged to explore with curiosity, act with courage, and lead with compassion.
Why families choose ISSH:
Truly personalised learning
At the International School of Schaffhausen (ISSH), every student is supported to learn, grow, and flourish in their own way. Small class sizes and caring teachers ensure individual attention and meaningful guidance throughout each stage of learning.
In the Early Learning Centre, children are nurtured with warmth and care as they build confidence and curiosity. In the Primary School, inquiry-based learning encourages critical thinking and independence. In the Secondary School, dedicated mentors and teachers support students as they explore their interests and prepare for the future.
Across all ages, our focus remains the same; a personalised, caring approach where every learner is seen, supported, and inspired to reach their potential.
More than a school:
A global community
At ISSH, education means more than just academics. We are a vibrant, welcoming community where international families and local Swiss families come together, united by shared values and mutual respect. Deeply embedded in the local community of Schaffhausen, we take pride in our strong ties to the region while embracing a global outlook.
Together, we grow – locally rooted, globally connected.
