Willkommen an der International School of Zürich North (ISZN)
An der International School of Zürich North verbinden wir den britischen Lehrplan mit einem wertschätzenden, internationalen Umfeld, das jede Schülerin und jeden Schüler dazu ermutigt, ihr oder sein Potenzial zu entfalten und hervorragende Leistungen zu erzielen. Vom zweisprachigen Early Years Programm bis zu den A-Levels lernen unsere Schülerinnen und Schüler kritisch zu denken, mit Respekt zu handeln und die Resilienz zu entwickeln, die sie an der Universität und im Leben stark macht.
Unser Schulleiter James Stenning freut sich, Sie an der ISZN zu begrüssen.
"Ich versuche sicherzustellen, das jedes Kind die Möglichkeit hat, in einer sich schnell verändernden Welt zu wachsen, erfolgreich zu sein"

#ISZNNews | Swiss Mathematical Olympiad – Round Two 🧮🇨🇭
We are proud to recognise the determination and commitment of our secondary students who participated in the second round of the Swiss Mathematical Olympiad, one of Switzerland’s most demanding academic competitions.
Our students Vihaan, Aryan, Arjun, Kishore, Ryunosuke and Ananya showed real perseverance while tackling advanced challenges in number theory, geometry and combinatorics.
To prepare for this level, they have been attending the free and open Mathematics Youth Academy at @ethzurich Zürich every Wednesday – a clear example of learning driven by curiosity, commitment, and passion beyond regular school hours.
We hope their dedication inspires other students to take on new academic challenges.
They are true role models within our ISZN community 👏

#ISZNNews Learning in Action: Parents in the Classroom ✨📚
Yesterday morning, our Primary parents joined their children in the classroom to experience Learning in Action, taking part in Math and Literacy lessons together.
Through engaging, hands-on activities, students proudly showed what they are learning, while parents gained a first-hand look at the strategies and skills being developed every day. It was a special moment to celebrate progress, curiosity, and confidence — together.
A lovely way to strengthen the home-school connection and make learning visible. 💛

#ISZNNews ISZN Student Rights and Responsibilities Charter – with rights come responsibilities! 🌟
Today, our students officially launched the new Student Rights and Responsibilities Charter through a powerful, student-led assembly. Members of our captaincy team and student council brought the charter to life through a creative and engaging drama, designed as a gameshow to explore its key themes.
The performance was informative, entertaining, and full of humour — keeping the audience engaged while delivering an important message. We are incredibly proud of how our students are embracing their rights, responsibilities, and leadership roles within our school community. 👏🎭

From strong early foundations to globally recognised IGCSEs and A-Levels, the pathway offers clarity, confidence, and flexibility at every stage.
If you’re exploring curriculum options and want to understand what this pathway really offers – beyond labels – this read is for you.

#ISZNNews 🌍 Grade 8 at Youth Forum Switzerland
Our Grade 8 students recently took part in Youth Forum Switzerland, hosted at @iszlofficial. For many, it was their first experience of a large, student-led international forum—and a memorable one.
Over 1,000 students came together to explore global topics, exchange ideas, and connect with peers from around the world.
What made the experience stand out:
✨ Student-led learning – Students led discussions and workshops, and managed tech, presentations, and photography.
✨ Interactive workshops – Creative sessions and inspiring talks encouraged students to think, create, and take action.
✨ Global connections – Meaningful conversations with peers from Brazil, the USA, Hungary, India, Madagascar, and beyond.
Our students returned with new perspectives, growing confidence, and a clear message: small actions—starting a conversation, sharing an idea, trying something new—can lead to meaningful change.

Our G6–8 Basketball team travelled to Geneva on 17–18 January to compete in the SGIS Basketball Category C Boys tournament.
With a young squad, our students knew the games would be challenging. They played with commitment, showed strong resilience and character, and enjoyed both the competition and the experience of travelling together as a team.
Thank you to our coaches and chaperones for their leadership and support throughout the trip.

#ISZNNews Strengthening Digital Learning Together 🚀
During our latest Teacher INSET Day and as part of our ongoing professional development programme, we worked with Conall Mac Loingsigh, Digital Advisor at @CognitaSchools, to strengthen our use of Flint – Cognita’s digital learning and assessment platform.
The session supported staff in using Flint purposefully to enhance planning, teaching, feedback, and the tracking of pupil progress, helping build confidence and consistency across the school.
During his visit, Conall also delivered an engaging coding lesson with our Grade 4 and 5 students, modelling effective digital pedagogy and computational thinking, and met with teams across the school to discuss digital priorities and next steps.
