Rob Butler

Rob Butler has worked as a teacher and administrator in a career spanning 28 years thus far. He started teaching in the independent sector in NSW and Queensland, Australia and was the initial Head of Primary for a new Anglican college for six years. The curriculums there gave him experience with enquiry based teaching. At St Hilda's in Southport on the beautiful Gold Coast, he was teaching in the primary school when the MYP was introduced to the school and he moved to the MYP years to assist in its establishment. He taught English, Humanities and Maths for six years in the MYP programme. Rob has a wide range of experience teaching various subjects to various grades from Kindergarten to Grade Ten. He gained further experience in the PYP in schools in Khartoum and Egypt.

Dear Parents,

Welcome to the website of the Swiss International School - Zurich North!

  • Offers an international education for students from Nursery aged 2 up to Grade 10 (aged 15)
  • Is authorised to offer the respected Primary Years Program of the International Baccalaureate Organisation
  • Provides a supportive and stimulating learning environment
  • Conveniently located in the north of Zurich City and easily accessible by public transport and motorway
  • Has a team of highly qualified teachers who respond sensitively to each student's educational requirements

Direct parent contact is a priority for the school. We like parents to become active members of an educational partnership between teacher professionals and students.

We understand it is often difficult for children to move away from their extended families, cultural roots and national educational systems. Additionally for the parents, a move to Switzerland can mean settling into an unfamiliar environment. We are happy where possible, to assist families in finding accommodation in the vicinity and assisting with healthcare registration.

In the following web pages you will find further information on our school programs and facilities. I look forward to showing you round the school and letting you see the stimulating environment and friendly atmosphere, which is so characteristic of our school.

Please contact me at any time with any questions or to make an appointment for a visit.

Rob Butler, Principal
