Welcome to Four Forest

Four Forest is a reputable private day school offering a high-quality bilingual education in the heart of Switzerland. Following the curricula of the cantons of Lucerne and Zug, and incorporating the British National Curriculum for the English language, teaching is delivered equally in German and English.

From day one, your child is immersed in a uniquely bilingual education, with one week taught entirely in German and the following week in English, creating a richness and wealth of opportunity in their school life and beyond.

Our Vision and Values

Our nurturing, bilingual community celebrates every child’s individuality and equips them with the skills to thrive in an ever-evolving global landscape.

Join us for a Personal Tour

We warmly welcome families throughout the year, offering tailored personal tours on a day that suits you, including school holidays.

Facilities & Location

Located in the heart of Switzerland

With campuses in Lucerne and Zug, Four Forest offers all levels of education from 1st Kindergarten (pre-school), through 2nd Kindergarten and Primary school to Secondary school.

Our school in Lucerne can be found in a beautiful location on the world-famous Rotsee in the city of Lucerne, whilst our campus in Zug is centrally located between Zug, Steinhausen, Cham and Hünenberg and offers wonderful views of the central Swiss Alps.

The teachers truly care about the students and the size of the school allows the teachers to know each student as individuals. This creates a safe and comfortable environment.

Children have the opportunity to visit our after school club where supervised play and various activities are offered every day from 3.15pm until 6.00pm. Supervision in the after school club is flexible and parents can enrol their child on a daily basis.

A wide range of extra-curricular activities are available within the framework of the after school club, including ball skills, Robotics, extra language classes and drama (activities may vary depending on the school campus). Children can further develop their artistic talent in the art and craft sessions. In addition, individual music lessons are offered (including piano) and from Grade 1, children may join our Homework Club after school on specified days.
