Core offering

OYM COLLEGE is a Swiss Olympic Sport School that delivers secondary-level education (Kaufleute EFZ commercial apprenticeship, Gymnasium SPF, and Berufsmatura preparation) tailored to elite young athletes in Switzerland. Education schedules adapt to sports training and competition demands rather than the reverse, supported by individualized learning plans, Lern-Coaches, and an on-campus living facility in Cham accommodating up to 44 athletes.

Product overview

OYM COLLEGE (OYMC) is a Swiss Olympic Sport School that offers a unified educational platform combining elite sports training with secondary education. The portfolio consists of three main educational programs: Kaufleute EFZ (commercial apprenticeship in the SOG model), Gymnasium (short-term grammar school with economics/digital competency focus), and Berufsmatura preparation (vocational baccalaureate self-study course). These programs are designed for young elite athletes who need flexible scheduling around their sports commitments. The OYMC Campus provides accommodation and support services for student-athletes, enabling them to fully focus on both sport and education at the same facility.

Products and services

• Kaufleute EFZ (SOG-Modell) A four-year commercial apprenticeship program (SOG model) leading to the Swiss Federal Diploma of Vocational Education and Training (EFZ). The first two years consist of school-based education at OYMC, followed by two years of practical training with selected OYMC partner companies (including AMAG, BDO, V-ZUG, Bossard, Medela, Johnson & Johnson, and TD SYNNEX). Designed for elite young athletes who need flexible schooling.
• Gymnasium SPF (Wirtschaft, Gesellschaft und Digitale Kompetenz) A four-year short-term gymnasium program leading to a cantonal Matura with specialization in Economics, Society, and Digital Competence. Sport is offered as a supplementary subject. Entry occurs after the 2nd or 3rd level of secondary school, and admission follows cantonal requirements. Designed for elite athletes needing flexible schooling around training and competition.
• Vorbereitungskurs für die eidgenössische Berufsmaturitätsprüfung (EBMP) A vocational baccalaureate preparation course for elite athletes with high self-discipline who need maximum flexibility. Based on self-study with integrated subject coaching and 24/7 learning support from OYMC, it can be completed independently of time and location to accommodate sports training and competitions. Requires a completed EFZ apprenticeship.
• OYMC Campus On-campus accommodation and support services for up to 44 athletes, located in the newly built Silo building on the Papieri-Areal in Cham since 2024.
