Introduction

School of Tomorrow - Schloss Sihlberg is a bilingual day school located in a 19th-century castle in Zurich’s Enge district. The school follows the Swiss Lehrplan 21 while integrating a comprehensive English-language program, preparing students for both local and international pathways, including the International Baccalaureate Diploma. Learning is organized into mixed-age groups rather than traditional grade-level classrooms, utilizing "Homebases" and specialized "micro-environments" for project-based work. The campus features dedicated spaces for digital literacy where primary students use personal iPads for research and coding. A distinctive feature of the school is its "Entrepreneur Friday" for older students and the "Friday Club" for younger ones, which shifts the focus from standard academics to practical projects and community activities. Instruction is delivered simultaneously by English and German-speaking educators in the same room, ensuring constant immersion.
