About the School
Rudolf Steiner Schule Sihlau is a private Steiner-Waldorf day school in Adliswil, just outside Zürich, offering a calm, nature-connected alternative to conventional Swiss schooling. The school provides education from playgroup and kindergarten through Classes 1 to 9, with after-school care and learning support available. Its pedagogy follows the Steiner principle of educating the whole child, balancing academic learning with music, movement, handwork, storytelling, artistic work, practical skills, and strong class-community life. What differentiates Sihlau is its green setting near the Sihl, close-knit school culture, and clear continuation route: after Class 9, students may progress to Atelierschule Zürich for upper-secondary education, including recognised Matura options. Families often choose it for its human-centred rhythm, creative depth, and thoughtful preparation for later academic pathways.
Located in the beautiful Adliswil, Zurich, Rudolf Steiner Schule Sihlau has been providing exceptional education since 1978. With a student body of 200+ students from around the world, the school offers a truly international learning environment with instruction in German.
