What makes the value real

Every detail of how we are structured, staffed, and run is designed with one purpose: to deliver the best possible outcomes for your child — at a price that is fully justified and completely transparent.

5:1 ratio — personal attention is structural, not a promise

With 8–15 students per class, every teacher knows each student by name, strength, and ambition — and shapes teaching around their individual potential. The result: students who are genuinely challenged, visibly confident, and ready for the world's best universities.

An IB Diploma that opens doors to the world's most prestigious universities

Top scores regularly exceed 40 points. Graduates attend Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Stanford, ETH ZĂ¼rich, Bocconi, and leading universities on every continent — with personalised counselling guiding every step.

Where independence feels safe

Mentor Tutors, Houseparents, and daily check-ins ensure every student is seen, supported, and growing. Families receive regular, growth-focused communication. Care here is not a department — it is how the whole school works.

PARENT VOICE

“We came to StGIS from a sister Cognita school due to the current situation in the Middle East. The administrative process could not have been smoother. The transfer of our children was seamless, and the admissions department at StGIS was incredibly proactive and helpful throughout.

As a boutique school with a relatively small student body, children quickly find their place and integrate with ease. The small, intimate class sizes create a warm, almost family-like atmosphere among the students.

Being located in a small lakeside village in the foothills of the Alps provides an inspiring, calm, and truly unique learning environment for the children.”
