THRIVE IN A RAPIDLY EVOLVING WORLD

COGNITA SCHOOLS PROVIDE A UNIQUELY GLOBAL EDUCATION

International School Zurich North is part of Cognita, an extraordinary family of diverse yet connected schools that share one common purpose: to create an inspiring world of education that builds self-belief and empowers individuals to succeed. With 100+ schools in Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia, Cognita employs some 15,000 teaching and support staff in the care and education of more than 85,000 pupils.

Together, Cognita schools provide a uniquely global education that goes beyond grades to develop all-round academic excellence – equipping young people with the confidence and resourcefulness that prepares them to grow, thrive and find their success in a fast-changing world.

Academic Excellence

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT IS AT THE HEART OF THE COGNITA WAY

Our Global Education Team comprises of leaders based in each of Cognita’s four global regions and together they utilise evidence – from within our group as well as external sources – to drive outstanding educational practice across all our schools.

Our global diversity fuels our innovation. A key benefit of being part of the global Cognita family is the opportunity to connect and collaborate with peers across the world.

We do this by sharing expertise, insights and best practice across our global family – and by collaborating to develop rich learning environments in every school. We equip young people with the self-belief and international perspective they need to grow, thrive and find success in a fast-changing world.

“I like that it is a small school with a small number of students per class. I also find the teachers very attentive and the communication with parents is great”

Wellbeing

WELLBEING IS THE FOUNDATION OF A COGNITA EDUCATION

Across our global schools family there is a culture of Wellbeing that truly lives and breathes. One area we’re pioneering is the use of data and analytics to facilitate more robust and specific Wellbeing interventions for our pupils. Complementing the strong emphasis on pastoral care in school, we’re developing our use of tools to track key indicators associated with children’s Wellbeing – proactively identifying issues pupils may face.

Meanwhile, Cognita’s annual Global Be Well Day each September sees lSZN join together with all other Cognita schools to collapse the curriculum for an entire day to focus solely on Wellbeing.

For families, Cognita regularly produces high-quality resources such as the Be Well Comments series on issues like sleep and screen time.
