About the School
Istituto Sant'Anna is a private day school in central Lugano, Switzerland, forming part of Gruppo Sant'Anna and offering a local academic pathway from primary school through to Matura-level studies. Founded in 1969, the school is best suited to families seeking a structured Italian-language education in Ticino rather than a classic international boarding-school model. Its offer includes primary, secondary, 10th-year, grammar school and language-course options, with a practical emphasis on continuity, supervision, and preparation for further study. A notable differentiator is its evolving bilingual Italian-German provision, with German introduced from the first year of middle school and bilingual Italian-German teaching already developed from primary level. Families often choose Istituto Sant'Anna for its Lugano location, personal scale, Swiss academic grounding, and clear progression within the Ticino education system.
Located in the beautiful Lugano, TI, Istituto Sant'Anna has been providing exceptional education since 1969. With a student body of 250+ students from around the world, the school offers a truly international learning environment with instruction in Italian & English.
