Our School Feature Series is designed for parents exploring private and international schools in and around the Cantons of Basel, Zurich, Geneva, and Vaud. The aim of this series is to give parents a clear overview of each school’s programs, educational concept, and what makes each school unique.

We take a closer look at each school’s learning environment, facilities, and approach to supporting students both academically and personally. Each feature offers an insight into daily school life and highlights the elements that shape the student experience.

You’ll find the school’s admission contact at the bottom of this article, so feel free to reach out to them directly for more details.

In this post, we feature Trinity Montessori – Zürich.

Trinity Montessori is not just a school —

it embodies education for life.

About Trinity Montessori – Zürich

Trinity Montessori in Horgen is a private school for children aged 1.5 to 12, offering an authentic AMI Montessori education in a bilingual (English-German) setting.

Rooted in respect, independence, and holistic development, Trinity nurtures each child’s natural curiosity and love of learning. Located adjacent to the forest, the school integrates a rich nature and animal program that brings outdoor exploration into daily life.

A dedicated art atelier offers for example pottery, music, woodworking, and open-ended creative projects, inspiring hands-on expression and innovation.

AMI certified teachers ensure individualised support in thoughtfully prepared environments. Trinity Montessori fosters confident, compassionate, and capable learners in a warm, inclusive international community—preparing children not just for school, but for life.

What makes Trinity Montessori in Horgen unique?

At Trinity Montessori, teachers and staff empower each child to acquire the essential knowledge, thinking skills, and strength of character, fundamental to flourish as joyous children and future successful adults.

Trinity Montessori supports families with regular eight-week check-ins on each child’s developmental and academic journey, weekly photos sent home, and quarterly newsletters highlighting upcoming adventures.

Monthly parent education nights offer insights into learning approaches and current research. As a One World School, the school celebrates diverse cultures, religions, and traditions, creating a warm, inclusive community.

Parents are invited to “Watch Me Work” by quietly observing classrooms and “Be My Guest” by joining their child for lunch. Families can also “Share Your Talent,” enriching our learning environment.

Trinity is a welcoming home where children from all walks of life learn with and from each other.

Facilities

Trinity Montessori offers spacious, light-filled loft-style classrooms designed to inspire learning. The forest serves as a natural extension of the classroom, where children build an outdoor classroom tent, hang hammocks, and explore nature throughout the seasons.   

On campus, children enjoy a variety of dedicated spaces: a children’s kitchen for cooking and baking dishes from around the world, a vibrant Art Atelier, a Music Room, a Pottery Studio, a Wood Workshop, and a Cherry Stone sensory room.

There is also a Project Room where children are free to splash color, experiment, and express their creativity. These thoughtfully designed environments support hands-on, holistic learning in line with the Montessori philosophy. While following the Swiss Lehrplan 21 to ensure smooth transitions to all schools, Trinity delivers the curriculum through hands-on, child-led Montessori methods.
