Lyceum
Alpinum Zuoz
Set
in a beautiful alpine landscape near the resort of St. Moritz, the
Lyceum Alpinum Zuoz is an international co-educational boarding school
with about two hundred boarders from all around the world and 100
local day students The Lyceum Alpinum campus and sports fields occupy
an extensive site overlooking the picturesque alpine village of Zuoz.
For more than 100 years, the values of tolerance, fairness and respect
for community have remained at the heart of a Lyceum Alpinum education.
The school philosophy is founded on tradition and innovation and finds
its true expression in the spirit of Zuoz which promotes the supreme
importance of life-long learning.
Academic
The
school offers three academic programmes: The International
Baccalaureate, the Swiss Matura and the German Abitur. The
International Baccalaureate is a comprehensive university preparation
course based on an approach to learning involving critical inquiry and
the education of the whole person. The aim of the Swiss Matura, which
is recognized nationally and internationally, is to fulfil university
entrance requirements by providing a broad general education. All
examinations are run in compliance with the Swiss Federal Matura
Regulations. The German Abitur is recognized for admission to national
and international universities and is conducted in-house by Lyceum
teachers under the supervision of the German ministry of education.
Our graduates go on to study at some of the world’s leading
universities such as the London School of Economics (LSE), Cambridge,
Yale, St.Gallen (HSG) and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
Zurich (ETH).
Boarding
At
the boarding school students live in comfortable modern surroundings.
Younger boys and girls enjoy the benefits and security of a
family-like environment, while the older students are encouraged to
take on greater responsibility. Our students receive individual
support and additional help from subject teachers, while for those who
want to stretch their limits even further there are added challenges.
There is a varied extra-curricular and weekend programme including
sports, leisure as well as cultural activities.
Sporting
Activities
Sports
and Games, with a strong emphasis on team sports such as cricket, Eton
fives, football and ice hockey are fundamental to the way of life at

twice a week in addition to the normal sports programme, promote
physical fitness as well as team spirit, mutual respect and fairness.

Am 26. September 2007, dem Europäischen Tag der
Sprachen, wurde in Tartu im Rahmen des Deutschen Kulturinstitutes ein
Schweizer Lesesaal eröffnet.

Am 26.
September 2007, dem Europäischen Tag der Sprachen, eröffnete
Botschaftsrätin Ivana Wagner von der Schweizer Botschaft in Helsinki
(rechts) gemeinsam mit dem Tartuer Bürgermeister Juri Sasi (Mitte)
sowie mit dem Institutsvorsitzenden Andrus Miilaste, von Beruf Richter
(links), im Deutschen Kulturinstitut zu Tartu einen neuen Schweizer
Lesesaal. Damit besitzt auch die ehrwürdige Universitätsstadt Tartu
nun eine speziell für die Schweizer Literatur und Publizistik
eingerichtete Plattform. Malle Ploovits, die Geschäftsführerin des Deutschen
Kulturinstituts, zeigte sich glücklich, dem interessierten Publikum
im Turm des Gebäudes die beiden übereinander liegenden Schweizer Räumlichkeiten
präsentieren zu können. Die Botschaftsrätin und der Bürgermeister
gelobten in der Zukunft das Projekt weiterhin zu unterstützen, was
auch nötig ist, fehlen noch immer die Mittel für die Heizkosten, um
das grosse Jugendstilgebäude aus dem Jahre 1907 über den kommenden
Winter beheizen zu können. Zu dem Anlass hatte die Schweizer
Botschaft ein gediegenes Buffet angeboten, und man erhob feierlich das
Glas. Tags zuvor veranstaltete die Universität Tartu eine Konferenz
zum Thema „Tradition und Moderne in der Literatur der Schweiz im 20.
Jahrhundert" Unterstützt wurde auch diese Veranstaltung von der
Schweizerischen Kulturstiftung Pro Helvetia, der Botschaft in
Helsinki, sowie vom Deutschen Kulturinstitut selbst. Federführend
waren neben Dr. Eve Poormeister. Dekanin an der Universität, eine grössere
Anzahl von Referenten und Referentinnen wie Toomas Liivamäge, Dr.
Christian Grimm, Leipzig, Dr. Hartmut Göbel, Göttingen, Dr. Daniel
Annen und weitere deutsche Literaturwissenschaftler.
