Students at SOT can earn the Secondary School Certificate A (Sek A). This qualifies them for EFZ and EBA apprenticeships, the Vocational Maturity Certificate (BMS), specialized secondary schools, and, depending on their qualifications, public high schools. Students can also study at the high school level, particularly if they aim to transfer to a school offering the Matura qualification. 

SOT is a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). The IB Diploma Programme is recognized worldwide and opens up a wide range of opportunities for admission to international and Swiss universities. 

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) is a globally recognized high school diploma that provides access to universities worldwide. In Switzerland, too, the IB Diploma is recognized by universities as a qualification for admission to higher education, provided that the specific admission requirements of each institution are met. 

The program is characterized by a holistic educational approach and, in addition to developing subject-specific skills, places particular emphasis on fostering critical thinking, intercultural understanding, and the ability to work independently and in a research-oriented manner. 

SOT is a candidate school for the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP). The school is working toward introducing the programme in the future. 

Yes. Students classified as Sek-B receive an individualized development plan at SOT with clearly defined milestones to help them gradually reach the Sek-A or gymnasium level, particularly with a view to further educational pathways such as the IBDP. 

Placement is determined by subject area (e.g., math, German, English) and is continuously updated. SOT focuses on motivation and potential rather than on a single entrance exam. 

Study time begins at 9:00 a.m. Subject-specific sessions are held throughout the week and are attended as needed. Teachers may require attendance if it is necessary for academic progress. At the same time, students have the opportunity to request specific sessions. The scope and number of sessions per week are based on the cantonal guidelines for the respective subject areas. 

Study time is organized into longer study periods during which several teachers are present at the same time. This allows students to work on different tasks simultaneously and encourages them to be independent and to reflect on their own learning needs and priorities. 

Bilingualism (German & English) is an integral part of everyday school life. During the first two years of secondary school, students build a solid foundation in both languages. After that, students follow a specific track: The English-language track can be continued at SOT toward the IB Diploma (currently in candidate status), while the German-language track typically transitions into a Swiss Matura program after the 8th or 9th grade. Both tracks remain open. 

Students who are actively involved in sports or the arts receive special support. Class schedules and exams can be customized, and the program can be extended by 1–2 years if necessary, allowing for the equal promotion of both education and personal passions. 

After secondary school (grades 7–9), several paths are available: transfer to our gymnasium (which focuses on the IB Diploma and currently has candidate status), transfer to a public cantonal gymnasium, a vocational apprenticeship (EFZ/EBA) with an optional vocational baccalaureate (BMS), or enrollment in a Fachmittelschule (FMS). The bilingual education program provides a solid foundation for these different educational paths. 

The curriculum includes core subjects such as mathematics, German, English, natural sciences and humanities, art, music, physical education, and French. These subjects form the foundation for further educational paths, such as gymnasium, college, or vocational training.

At the same time, learning is enhanced through interdisciplinary, project-based formats and Entrepreneurial Fridays. These are a regular part of the weekly schedule, during which students develop and implement their own ideas and take on responsibility. 

A key feature is the individualized placement by subject area. Students work at a level that matches their current ability. For example, at the gymnasium level in mathematics and at the Sek A level in languages. This ensures both targeted support and appropriate challenges. 

This is how we combine a solid academic foundation with the ability to apply knowledge in the real world.

Experience Day on-site for the child. The day begins with an introduction between the child, the parents, and the educators. After this, the parents leave the premises and the child experiences a full school day. For children applying from outside Switzerland who are unable to attend in person, a video call can be arranged instead.
