Location
Our boarding school is in the heart of Switzerland. We look down from the Zugerberg mountain onto the lively city of Zug, so our campus is secluded and yet we are easy to reach. Zurich International Airport is only one hour away, shortening the distance even if home is on the other side of the globe. Lucerne is rich with culture and history and close by.
Zug, an economically thriving city and headquarters to many multinational companies, has an attractive setting by the lake. A short ride on a funicular railway takes you to our 60-acre campus. The train climbs, steeply. You see farmland with cattle grazing and then forest, maybe foxes or deer. At the top of the line you will find our Swiss international boarding school, Institut Montana.

Why It is a Great Choice
Language courses in the mornings
The mornings will be focused on learning either English or German, depending on the selected choice. A placement test will take place beforehand to match students by age and language proficiency level. The courses are held in very small class sizes so that all students benefit from an individualized learning approach.
Afternoons are for Sports, Science, Business or Arts.
Afternoons are devoted to workshops and sports such as tennis, golf, badminton, soccer and beach volleyball. You learn about business, leadership and bringing new ideas to life by running your own shop; you learn science and technology with projects like building rockets to launch in the sky or heat shields on a budget. Creativity and arts might be creating your own movie with the support of a real-life director.
