We open doors to new worlds
At Terra Nova, we accompany your child from pre-kindergarten, through kindergarten, and until the end of primary school, on a journey that fosters the growth of language, thought, and personality in equal measure. Located in the heart of Küsnacht, our approach is designed to fit your family’s daily life.
German and English naturally belong together here. Each class is led by a German-speaking and an English-speaking teacher, who each conduct lessons in their native language. This way, children naturally learn both languages in various contexts.
Mathematics, Informatics, Natural Sciences, and Technology (MINT/STEAM), along with important cross-curricular competencies, are a crucial component of our curriculum. These include research and experimentation, teamwork, critical thinking, and creativity. In doing so, children develop curiosity, self-confidence, and the ability to find their own solutions.
Flexible full-day care from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm: We are there for your child, even if you are delayed. An attractive club programme and supervised homework sessions provide variety during care hours and ease the burden on your family life.

What families say about us
“Our son blossomed at Terra Nova and quickly felt comfortable even on English lesson days, despite having no prior exposure to the language. He transformed from a shy kindergartner into a confident Year 2 student, made close friends, and learned a great deal in all areas.” — Terra Nova Parent Voice
