At d’Insle and Sprungbrett, our school, kindergarten, and pre-kindergarten facilities share a strong commitment to high educational standards and the core principles of Montessori education. This shared philosophy is reflected not only in our trilingual approach—German, English, and French—but also in the expertise and qualifications of our dedicated teaching staff. 

Thanks to this unified approach, children can transition smoothly between d’Insle and Sprungbrett should families wish to make a change. While both institutions uphold the same educational values, they differ in location, facility layout, and extracurricular offerings—allowing families to choose the environment that best suits their child’s needs. 

d’Insle 

Centrally located in Zurich’s Kreis 8 district, d’Insle Montessori School offers a welcoming community with a strong connection to nature. Learning here extends beyond the classroom—through hands-on Montessori materials, interdisciplinary projects, and collaboration across age groups. Our thoughtfully designed campus includes a garden that fosters outdoor learning and quiet reflection, providing children with a nurturing space to explore, discover and grow. We warmly invite you to visit our main campus on Signaustrasse. 

Sprungbrett 

Sprungbrett blends a neighbourhood feel with a dynamic focus on music and sport. We understand how vital it is to see your child flourish, which is why we offer small, personalised class settings where each child feels supported, valued, and encouraged. In our Montessori environment, your child will be able to nurture their creativity and confidence. From kindergarten onwards, children can take part in violin, piano, gymnastics, and swimming lessons. Our welcoming premises are located throughout Zurich’s Kreis 7 and 8 districts, and we would be delighted to show you around. 

We maintain a low student-to-teacher ratio across all our premises to provide personalised attention and support, fostering a nurturing learning environment in line with our high-quality standards and the key Montessori education principles. 

Yes, Montessori actively involves parents as partners in the educational journey. Through open and regular communication between school and home, we strive to align our approach with the values and practices families follow at home. By engaging parents meaningfully, they become key contributors to their child’s social, emotional, and academic development. 

We encourage parental involvement beyond the traditional parents’ evenings, offering a range of regular events and activities. These include cultural experiences—such as music and theatre performances—as well as themed evenings on topics like children’s use of digital media. Such events not only strengthen our school community but also keep parents informed about the latest academic and pedagogical developments. 

We are generally open from 07:00 to 19:00. However, these hours may vary depending on the age group. We aim to accommodate working families' schedules and will do our best to meet your needs. Please contact the school office for more information.
