Schule Adliswil

What Schule Adliswil does

Schule Adliswil is the public municipal school system of the City of Adliswil (Stadt Adliswil) in the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland, operating under the Department of Education (Ressort Bildung). It delivers compulsory education from kindergarten through Sekundarschule (end of compulsory schooling at approximately age 15-16) across six primary school campuses (Dietlimoos, Kopfholz, Sonnenberg, Werd, Wilacker, Zopf) and two secondary school locations (Hofern and Zentrum Kronenwiese), with a combined student population exceeding 1,100 including approximately 400+ secondary students drawn from about 20 countries. The portfolio is anchored by the Schule+ model, which integrates formal instruction with Betreuung (childcare: morning care, Mittagstisch, afternoon supervision, holiday programs, and homework assistance), Schulsozialarbeit (school social work), and a Medien und ICT Konzept (PICTS) that delivers the Escola App for parent-school communication, a structured iPad usage program, the Lernportal learning platform, and the Kompetenzpass digital-literacy tracker. Multiple campuses hold QUIMS (Quality in Multicultural Schools) status.

The Musikschule Adliswil-Langnau am Albis operates as a cross-municipal music school serving children, youth, and adults through approximately 45 music teachers offering instrumental lessons (30/40/50/60 minutes), ensembles, music theory, and movement classes from a dedicated Musikhaus facility at Kilchbergstrasse 9. Complementary offerings include partnerships with the Cleven-Stiftung/fit4future (health and nutrition education), Jugendmusik Sihltal (wind/brass ensemble and orchestra programs), and kunstzürichsüd (art education at Zopf).

The system is funded primarily through municipal and cantonal (Kanton Zürich) government allocations, supplemented by semester-based Musikschule tuition fees (with sibling and multi-subject discounts of 10% each, plus income-based scholarships), separate Betreuung fee schedules, and modest ancillary charges. Enrollment is catchment-based for compulsory education; Musikschule and Betreuung use direct registration through the Stadt Adliswil Schulverwaltung and online platforms. Governance rests with Stadträtin and Schulpräsidentin Christine Preisig and Ressortleiter Bildung Joshua Renshaw, supported by campus-level Schulleitungen and a structured Elternforum (parent forum) at each site.
