The 10 Best Schools in Switzerland For 2020

The school has an active student council as well as
regular class council meetings. It believes that parents
play an important role in helping build the community,
whether they are supporting the learning or ensuring
there are plenty of social and community events
throughout the year.
Field trips and camps not only take learning outside the
classroom but also strengthen established friendships
and help develop new friendships. Through these
activities, OBS students have been known to overcome
their fears and discover hidden passions. Sports Day
and the Swiss Clean up Day are examples of whole
school events that encourage the feeling of belonging
to a community.
Obersee Bilingual School is passionate about offering
an authentic, relevant and world-focused curriculum
and supporting its students so that they feel confident
to express themselves in both German and English.
The school continuously challenges its methods and
strategies to ensure that its learning environment
cultivates imagination, critical thinking and a different
perspective, whilst allowing time for play/time to delve
into one’s own interests. Moreover, OBS believes that
taking time to discuss world news and the impact of
media support an engaging learning environment.
Finding learning activities that enable students to make
emotional connections and where mistakes are seen as
part of the learning process help ignite student minds.
Visitors (be it people from education, the business
world, the social sector or the entertainment sector)
help add to the authenticity of what OBS does.
Striving for Excellence and Preparing for Endless
Opportunities
OBS, a young, innovative school saw its first class
graduate last year. One of its students achieved the
best Matura result in the German speaking part of
Switzerland. Other Alumni have gone ahead to study at
the prestigious ETH in Zurich and UK and Canadian
Universities. Several of OBS' Alumni have received
scholarships and are pursuing their sporting talents
whilst continuing their studies, be it Latin dance (Swiss
champion), rowing, ice-hockey or golf.
Graduating from OBS gives one the opportunity to
study at Universities world-wide or to embark on an
apprenticeship which can lead to a job or further
studies. Students that attend OBS’s Primary and US will
be prepared for the careers of the future. T R
