GIS The International School of Lugano is a private bilingual international day school in Lugano, Switzerland, serving local and international families seeking a modern education in English and Italian. The school offers learning from preschool through secondary level and follows an approach based on the International Baccalaureate curriculum, combined with Swiss culture and the educational standards of the Canton of Ticino. GIS Lugano is currently a candidate school for the IB Primary Years Programme and Middle Years Programme, which makes it a developing option rather than a fully authorised IB continuum school. Its strongest differentiator is the balance between international-minded learning, multilingual development, and local Ticino integration. Families often choose GIS for its Lugano setting, bilingual environment, smaller community feel, and focus on curiosity, responsibility, and global citizenship.

Located in the beautiful Lugano, Ticino, GIS The International School of Lugano has been providing exceptional education since 2025. With a student body of 100+ students from around the world, the school offers a truly international learning environment with instruction in English & Italian.
