Support for families.

Included in the school fees are events with parents and friends, which serve to support families and help connect with educators and the school, as well as to facilitate a valuable exchange within our network and the community of the School of Tomorrow.

These are not classic parent-teacher nights! Rather, these are valuable and enriching events, as a way to network within our community, but above all to actively and directly support parents and families. Through interactive exchange and specific knowledge transfer we aim to support and help to shape the holistic upbringing and education of your own children as ideally as possible, even outside the regular school hours.

If there are any futher specific wishes that are not already covered by SOT, please do let us know. Whenever possible, we try to create the ideal structure for each family.

Total flexibility.

Life is often unpredictable. As a society, we already suffer enough from "over-planning" as it is. For this reason the School of Tomorrow's approach is to create a structure that is as flexible as possible and thus supports and helps the family.

In concrete terms, this means that the SOT does not charge extra fees for childcare (pick-up and drop-off time). On each school day, you can freely and spontaneously choose the time - come to school at 8:00 or just before 10:00 (or 9:30 for primary school)? Pick up my child at 16:00 (or 16:30 for primary school) or work a little longer and pick him up shortly before 18:00? Families have the choice - without extra costs or advance planning!

And since only the summer and Christmas vacations are fixed, families are free to take the remaining 6-7 weeks of vacation as they wish.

The first step into the future.

Registration:

There is a one-off fee per child (total of CHF 3,500 for Kindergarten and CHF 4,500 for Primary) that is charged for registration, and includes the following:

  • Application fee: One time and per child | CHF 500

  • Reimbursed with the last installment before leaving; not reimbursed for attendance shorter than 24 months | CHF 3'000

  • Material: Contribution for initial personal school material incl. personal iPad, software, cloud access and more | CHF 1'000. (Not applicable for Kindergarten and will be charged subsequently when transitioning from Kindergarten to Primary School)

Trial day:

If a place can be offered in terms of age, there is also the option of attending a trial day. If the SOT offers a trial day, the registration fee (500CHF) will be charged before the trial day. This amount will be credited to a definitive registration within 30 days of the trial day and will otherwise be forfeited. In the event that the SOT no longer wishes to offer the place after the trial day, the amount will be refunded in full.

Please note

  • Children aged 6 and over must have an annual season ticket for zone 110 of Zurich public transport

  • Multi-day trips, camps, trips abroad, etc. will be charged separately.

  • For subsidized or institution-sponsored places, the tuition fee is an additional CHF 3,600 per term (+ CHF 900 per month).

  • The school fees can be increased annually.
