About

Four Forest is a well-established private day school offering a high-quality bilingual education in the heart of Switzerland. Following Swiss Curriculum 21 and incorporating the British National Curriculum for English, our programme provides students with an equal balance of German and English instruction. With conveniently located campuses in Zug and Lucerne, we offer a nurturing learning environment that promotes personal growth, social-emotional development, and academic excellence.

In our Early Years programme, children experience dedicated German and English teaching days. From Kindergarten onwards, students learn through our unique one-week English, one-week German immersion model, enabling them to develop strong language skills in both languages. Children can join Four Forest from the age of three, and we cater for students through to Grade 9 in Zug and Grade 10 in Lucerne.

In addition to our bilingual programme, we also offer a German-language pathway for Primary School students at both our Zug and Lucerne campuses, as well as for Secondary School students in Lucerne.
