ABOUT US

Learn about our beliefs and values

At Tandem IMS, we believe that a high-quality education is achieved by enhancing learning through a discovery process that guides all children to gain new perspectives and develop a holistic approach to different topics.

We support every child in reaching their highest potential and developing their learning strategies in order to prepare them for their next educational step - be it for a Swiss Gymnasium or another upper level Swiss or international school.

Our educational programme benefits from the latest local and international research and incorporates the following aspects:

  • the curriculum of the canton of Zurich with enhancements from UK and other international curricula.
  • Enquiry-based learning - based on the Primary Years Programme of the International Baccalaureate (IB)
  • multilingual teaching in German, English and French
  • translanguaging in German and English
  • recognised assessments - UK SATs, DELF Prim, cantonal tests and Swiss Gymnasium entrance exams
