From playgroup to (international) Matura
At the ILS Immersive Learning Space, we learn and decide together
Our concept
home.pillars.subtitle
- 1. Academic Excellence
- 2. Entrepreneurial School
- 3. Innovation School
We combine learning concepts from Switzerland, Germany, Japan, Russia, New Zealand, England, Denmark, and the USA in one private school, because our learning guides are not only teachers but also researchers.
Academic Excellence
We create a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Our curriculum inspires children and adolescents to discover their individual strengths, think critically, solve challenges creatively, and understand the world of core subjects with curiosity and depth.
Entrepreneurial School
In our dynamic world, entrepreneurial spirit and creativity are key skills for the future. Through practical projects, our students learn to turn ideas into action and take responsibility – often even with the goal of founding their first company.
Innovation School
To prepare our students for the future, we explore new ways of learning. With openness and an innovative mindset, we explore methods that engage head, heart, and senses equally – for an education that goes beyond the ordinary and unlocks each child’s full potential.
Playgroup (from 2 ½ years)
In our ILS playgroup, children experience nature with all their senses. Through playful learning focused on the right hemisphere of the brain, plenty of movement in the fresh air, and free exploration in a safe environment, we nurture creativity, joy, and natural curiosity. We warmly invite you to join us in creating unforgettable moments for your children.

Discover learning through nature
Learning through nature means understanding knowledge through experience. In direct contact with the environment, children discover connections, develop mindfulness, and strengthen their ecological awareness. This creates holistic learning that connects head, heart, and hands.
We are more than a school.
Children live in the 'here and now' and need questions, challenges, and problems from everyday life that nurture their curiosity about the world. They experience the world through diverse, natural, playful engagement with their surroundings. The questions 'why' and 'how come' always lead us to reflect and go deeper.
We give children space to develop their individual interests and talents. Our focus is on intrinsic motivation and developing a lifelong love of learning.
In addition to academic subjects, we foster creative thinking, social competence, and practical skills. We value comprehensive development and independent learning.
Our curriculum is state-approved and ensures a solid foundation for transitioning to higher education or entering the job market.
In our small learning groups, we offer a personal and supportive learning environment. Each child is supported individually and guided at their own pace.
Regular excursions, internships, and projects enable students to apply what they have learned in real-world situations. This creates deeper understanding and stronger connections to future life.
Our priority is to create an appreciative and respectful environment. We promote social skills, teamwork, and empathy to build a positive community.
Our goal is to prepare students for a fulfilling life and the challenges of the job market. We emphasize the development of practical life skills, critical thinking, and personal responsibility – including the goal of starting their own business according to their individual passions.
We learn foreign languages (English, French, Spanish) from the first grade using the immersion method. With this method, the new language becomes the working language for a certain period, allowing students to build vocabulary in a playful and natural way.

A private school is an investment – in your child's future. At the ILS Immersive Learning Space, we understand education as a shared endeavor (or shared co-creation). As an Entrepreneurial School, we create opportunities to reduce tuition fees by collaborating on projects, thus allowing you to become part of our learning and innovation community. Don't let numbers hold you back – talk to us. Together, we will find a way that enables your child to create with joy and curiosity. Contact: tkochanek@immersivelearningspace.ch
