History

International School - Zurich North was founded in 1999 in Wallisellen, which is three train stops away from the center of Zurich. The school was founded with the intention of providing Pre-School, Primary, and Middle School education. The school wanted to focus on to the growing multinational community, which had developed in and around North-East Zurich. The school started with a modern building for primary students and later a separate High School Building was added to the Wallisellen campus in 2010.
