Born out of a need
We know the feeling of entrusting your child to someone new in the morning – trusting that they’ll be seen and supported. That someone will notice how they’re doing and give them time to settle in and grow. From this desire, a place was created where connection, relationships, and development shape daily life.
From the first arrival to a child’s own hero’s journey
Daycare & Kindergarten
A safe haven for the first steps outside the family. With consistent caregivers, clear routines, and plenty of nature, trust grows – in themselves and in the world. Children are free to discover, play, feel, and experiment. At their own pace. With caring guidance.
Primary School
A learning environment where children are encouraged to be courageous. Here, they take responsibility, discover their strengths, and experience: I can make a difference. Learning becomes their own journey – not about conformity.
Transitions that provide security
Transitions are big steps for children. That’s why we design them thoughtfully, gently, and with support – without abrupt changes, without pressure. This builds trust – for children and for parents.
Daycare → Kindergarten
Familiar routines, familiar caregivers, and time to settle in provide security.
Kindergarten → Primary School
Values, attitude, and language remain familiar – responsibility grows step by step.
Private school reimagined – from the child’s perspective
Our primary school is part of the international Acton network. This means: learning grows out of curiosity, responsibility, and real experiences – not from pressure or control. Adults act as guides. Children take responsibility for their learning.
Nature, projects, and community are integral parts of daily life.
People who take children seriously
Ultimately, it’s not concepts that build trust – but people. Our team supports children with expertise, mindfulness, and genuine relationships. We listen. We take concerns seriously. And we stay in dialogue – with children and parents. All our teachers have recognized qualifications and work according to Swiss standards and Lehrplan 21.
At Acton, children experience learning in a new way: collaboratively, practically, self-directed, with modern technology – and plenty of movement & room for their own strengths
