From playgroup to (international) Matura
At the ILS Immersive Learning Space, we learn and decide together
Our concept
Our concept is based on three pillars that aim to provide a holistic and heart-centered educational experience. Our three pillars that rethink 'school':
- Academic Excellence
- Entrepreneurial School
- Innovation School
We combine learning concepts from Switzerland, Germany, Japan, Russia, New Zealand, England, Denmark, and the USA in one private school, because our learning guides are not only teachers but also researchers.
Academic Excellence
We create a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Our curriculum inspires children and adolescents to discover their individual strengths, think critically, solve challenges creatively, and understand the world of core subjects with curiosity and depth.
Entrepreneurial School
In our dynamic world, entrepreneurial spirit and creativity are key skills for the future. Through practical projects, our students learn to turn ideas into action and take responsibility – often even with the goal of founding their first company.
Innovation School
To prepare our students for the future, we explore new ways of learning. With openness and an innovative mindset, we explore methods that engage head, heart, and senses equally – for an education that goes beyond the ordinary and unlocks each child’s full potential.
Playgroup (from 2 ½ years)
Our pioneers
We are not traditional teachers but researchers, explorers, and guides. Our team unites people and ideas from around the world to make learning come alive. Together, we create an environment where children and adolescents remain curious, grow beyond themselves, and realize their full potential.

Discover learning through nature
Learning through nature means understanding knowledge through experience. In direct contact with the environment, children discover connections, develop mindfulness, and strengthen their ecological awareness. This creates holistic learning that connects head, heart, and hands.

A private school is an investment – in your child's future. At the ILS Immersive Learning Space, we understand education as a shared endeavor (or shared co-creation). As an Entrepreneurial School, we create opportunities to reduce tuition fees by collaborating on projects, thus allowing you to become part of our learning and innovation community. Don't let numbers hold you back – talk to us. Together, we will find a way that enables your child to create with joy and curiosity.
