Spend Less Time In The Office

International School of Geneva, La Grande Boissière Campus
One of the goals of Adventure Year is to learn from the top international schools in Europe and Asia, so I absolutely had to visit the original!

The origins of Neuchâtel Junior College (NJC) date back to 1956, when Leonard Wilde, a teacher from the UK who was familiar with both Swiss and Canadian systems recruited a class of Canadian grade 12 students to study in Switzerland.

Leysin American School
LAS fits into a unique category of school that I am visiting on Adventure Year, because it’s technically a private co-educational family-owned boarding school. Although it’s not strictly an international school, as soon as I heard about it from my friends Tim Shuman and Dr. Tim Stuart, I knew that I had to visit.
International School Zurich North

But that’s not all ICS is known for…

Frankfurt International School, Wiesbaden Campus

FISW was opened in 1992 to serve the growing international population in the area and now serves 225 students. This intentionally small school is certainly one of the most fabulous that…
Frankfurt International School, Oberursel Campus
I have heard great things about visiting Germany, nice people, beautiful scenery, and good food. But, it wasn’t until I heard about the incredible Frankfurt International School (FIS) that I finally decided to visit. Well, there is a little more to the story than that…
