The school was founded to serve the needs of the international community of the Schaffhausen and Zurich North area. ISSH is home to students from 42 different nationalities. Our youngest community member is
10 months old and attends the childcare centre. The oldest students are 18 years and they complete the IB Diploma Programme in our Junior College. ISSH can pride itself on an exceptionally committed and enthusiastic team of educators. Entering ISSH you will be impressed by a unique and welcoming atmosphere which is greatly supported by our parent
