"Learning is like an ocean without a shore."

Important Dates, Holidays & Vacations

As our structure is flexible and individually designed, it is possible to start at any time (if a place is available) and there is no disadvantage to starting in the middle of the year.

We only have fixed vacations twice a year: the Christmas vacations and the summer vacations, both for 3 weeks. This means that we are only closed for a total of six weeks a year! The public holidays in Zurich are of course taken into account.

In addition, 6 weeks of vacation may be taken freely and as desired!

(It should be at least one week at a time – less vacation can be taken if desired).

Every family is different. That is why our vacations are different for every child – according to the family's wishes and choices! We are convinced that time with the family and vacations do not mean an absence of learning – quite the opposite! Enriching experiences inside and outside of school time all contribute significantly to a child's development. That is why we want to encourage and support this valuable and important time as much as possible.

School of Tomorrow is closed for a total of only 6 weeks a year, 3 weeks in summer and 3 weeks over Christmas/New Year. During the rest of the year we are always there for your children. For comparison: public schools close 13-14 weeks, most international schools even up to 18 weeks. Thus, we offer a total of 1-2 months extra care and school time, if desired.
