Switzerland - Zug International School

[Nanou1]

Morning everyone! can't find the thread i had started a while back! i hope everyone is well and happy. pleased to report that dh has found accommodation and starting new job on 18 June. dd and i thinking of going 3rd or 4th week in july. will any of you be around for a meeting? also, wondered if you could tell me how you found the international school in Zug (or Baar?!) or what you have heard - good or bad or things to watch our for. still undecided about what we are going to do on this one! many thanks. how does one say "thank you" in swiss german?

Have several friends with children at ISOZ who seem very happy with it, however I think you may find they start at 4 (Pre Kindergarten) or perhaps even 5 (Kindergarten) unless it has changed recently and only goes up to Primary ages. Cut off date is end of August. It doesn't have the same IB accreditations as some of the other International Schools in the area (so some companies won't fund its fees) and is privately owned and run by the head who is British.

btw it is "danke vielmal" !!

Hi

Congratulations sounds like all is going well. It's really warm out here now and feel like being on a summer holiday every time you go outside. London seems like a world away today

Let me know when you're over here and we should sort out a meet up. I should admit at this stage that, despite the name of this site - I don't have any kids (found the chatroom during a broody / technologically adventurous phase and generally look at the relationships thread...) I am, however, very nice and have experience of living and working here, just not the schools etc. bit (hopefully one day, it's such a nice place)

hi nanou, was wondering about you. We're around till 21st July, then we're going on holiday to UK for 2 weeks, so between 21 July to 5th August we're away, but otherwise we're about if that fits in with you.

Like lizs says, or just danke, or Merci is also widely used. You'll find Swiss German uses a lot of English & French words, eg velo instead of Fahrrad, Ambulanz (sp?) instead of Krankenwagon. In Basel even more so. Goodbye is many & varied too, but Ade (from Adieu clearly) is often used. Tchuss, Wiederlüege..........

Hi, we're around all summer.
