Children First Primary School

Children First was established in 2006 to provide high quality education and care for international and multi-lingual families. Our aim is to ensure that we put children first in everything we do. As the school has grown, we have retained our core commitment to providing education and support on a personal level. We feel privileged to be the first place outside the home where children make friends and learn to read, write and work in groups. Our multi-age school is structured like a big family, in which all children are encouraged to enhance their own personality, while learning to interact with others. The expertise we offer at Children First ensures every child’s individual potential can be developed. Our children continue their education in both the local Swiss and international primary systems. The daycare service guarantees working parents can give their children a head start in life. The focus on the early years of learning enables children to acquire basic life skills, as well as a solid academic foundation. Our internationally-recognised Montessori and English curricula support our unique approach. We use practical teaching methods that promote creativity, problem solving, critical thinking, care of the environment and for each other. Strong relationships with the children are complemented by our work in partnership with parents. Our priorities are shared, so everyone involved understands what makes these formative years so special.
