Founded in 1963 by a group of parents and educators, the American International School of Zurich, a secondary day school (grades 7–13),[2] offered a broad college-preparatory curriculum in English to students from the international community of Zurich and the surrounding area.
As an international school AISZ aimed to provide a sound education for its students both in academic achievement and personal growth, regardless of religion, race, nationality or sex.
90%+ of the graduating seniors entered universities and institutions of higher learning worldwide.
However, the school also offered courses and learning support services which addressed the needs of a student body diverse in educational background and ability.
AISZ also offered a variety of other activities, clubs, sports, and field trips.
