Obersee Bilingual School
future-oriented | student-centered | ambitious
The Obersee Bilingual School (OBS) is a truly international environment with staff and students from over 40 countries. OBS offers various qualifications, curriculums and adaptable learning programmes to provide each individual student an optimal path to become global citizens.
Personalised learning
OBS has an approach which focuses on students as individuals. Class sizes are small and every child is given regular individual coaching sessions to help evaluate the student’s learning strategies and tailor education to the student’s needs. This approach is successful; OBS students achieve higher grades than the Swiss average.
The school has recently opened a state-of-the-art campus in Wollerau, Canton Schwyz, providing ample space and a modern technology learning environment that helps the school support every child's learning profile.
Focus on languages
OBS provides English/German bilingual education for children aged 3 months to 18 years. The Swiss curriculum is taught by native speakers and places equal emphasis on both languages.
For non-native speakers (English and/or German), additional tuition is made available to students to boost their level.
French is taught from grade 5 onwards; Italian and Latin classes are available later. After-school language tuition is available for Chinese, Danish, French and Spanish.
Support for students and parents
OBS provides extra support in- and outside of school hours, and children can expand their learning beyond the classroom:
- Before and after school clubs and activities
- A wide range of extracurricular activities including: Art, Bollywood Dance, Aikido, Robotics, Media Academy
- Holiday school programmes
- School buddy program and Family Fun Day
