ZIS launched a bilingual pathway in August 2021, meeting the requirements of the Swiss Lehrplan 21 curriculum. This pathway has grown to include classes from Early Childhood through to Grade 5, with Grade 6 set to open in August 2026, and plans to extend to Grade 9 in the coming years.
The Bilingual Pathway serves as an alternative route to our full international curriculum. Our team includes German-speaking and bilingual homeroom teachers who are integral to the extended international grade-level teaching framework.
We are currently seeking an experienced, bilingual (C2 German & English) Grade 6 homeroom teacher.

The position includes planning time, access to ongoing professional development—both local and international—and opportunities for international networking. Additionally, there will be chances to collaborate with specialist subject teachers and an extensive team of support teachers.

An EDK teaching certification is required; however, ZIS can support this application if you qualify and have not yet applied. Candidates must provide evidence of the following:
