We are situated in the heart of the Rheintal, a beautiful part of Switzerland. Surrounded by mountains and the Rhein, we have glorious views and are also easily accessible within the region.
New Campus now open
ISR is proud to announce that we have started the school year 2023/ 2024 in our modern and sustainable, purpose-built three-story building, designed by Zurich architects of Kämpfen Zinke + Partner. The new campus is a generous donation of the Hilti Family Foundation Liechtenstein.
