Welcome to Four Forest
Four Forest is a reputable private day school offering a high-quality bilingual education in the heart of Switzerland. Following the curricula of the cantons of Lucerne and Zug, and incorporating the British National Curriculum for the English language, teaching is delivered equally in German and English.
From day one, your child is immersed in a uniquely bilingual education, with one week taught entirely in German and the following week in English, creating a richness and wealth of opportunity in their school life and beyond.

Our nurturing, bilingual community celebrates every child’s individuality and equips them with the skills to thrive in an ever-evolving global landscape.

#CuriosityInAction 
Every stitch starts with a question: What can I create? How does this work? At Four Forest, curiosity isn’t just encouraged—it’s the thread that ties learning together.
Because when we explore, experiment, and try something new, we’re not just making—we’re growing.

#NeugierInAktion
Jeder Stich beginnt mit einer Frage: Was kann ich erschaffen? Wie funktioniert das? Bei Four Forest fördern wir Neugier – sie ist der rote Faden, der Lernen verbindet.
Denn wenn wir entdecken, experimentieren und Neues ausprobieren, erschaffen wir nicht nur – wir wachsen.
