Coronavirus – ISL is in remote learning and in the process of moving learning back to school.

As other schools in Switzerland, ISL is following safety procedures in response to the coronavirus situation, as instructed by the federal council. From Tuesday 17 March we have moved to remote learning. So far, the experience of the families has been very positive. This was made possible with careful planning, thoughtful execution, and full collaboration between our faculty and technology team. We created the following pages to inform our community on the latest updates, and on how to best achieve success and well-being in their remote learning. Being part of a global community, we also want to share our experience with our colleagues as we address these challenging times.ISL's response to CoronavirusRemote LearningLife at home with kids
