SalZH – Schulalternative Zürich is a private Swiss day-school foundation with locations in Winterthur and Wetzikon, offering an alternative pathway from early childhood through primary and lower secondary education. Despite the name, SalZH is not a classic Zurich-city international school; its strength lies in smaller, values-led Swiss schooling aligned with Lehrplan 21. The school offers regular classes as well as small and very small classes for pupils with higher support needs, creating a more individualised environment than many standard classrooms. Its secondary programme includes Sek A and Sek B levels, talent lessons, project work, learning support, and career orientation from the second secondary year. Families often choose SalZH for its structured day-school model, close parent collaboration, relational teaching, and practical preparation for Swiss academic or vocational next steps.

Located in the beautiful Winterthur, Zurich, SalZH – Schulalternative Zürich has been providing exceptional education since 2002. With a student body of 250 students from around the world, the school offers a truly international learning environment with instruction in German.
