Choose your child's learning focus
Registering for this pathway gives your child one session a week across all six programmes below. The pathway fee is the same whichever programmes the afternoon covers.
Eight places per group. Fees, the session calendar and the full curriculum sit in the brochure.
- What the fee covers
- 10 sessions of 90 minutes across the module, one session a week, in a group of no more than eight. If the trial session isn't right for your child, we refund the CHF 45.
- If your child misses one
- Tell us before the afternoon starts and the session is made up in another group the same week, space permitting. Unannounced absences are not credited.
- Module dates
- Starts 31 August, then runs in ten-week modules, excluding Zürich school holidays. Full session calendar sent on enrolment.
What your child learns
The skills every Languages & Technology group works on, whichever programme fills the afternoon.
- Speaking confidence
- Reading comprehension
- Listening skills
- Writing skills
- Public speaking
- Cross-cultural communication
Inside the Languages & Technology programme
- English
- Speaking and writing for a real audience: presentations, short stories, debates. Children are grouped by ability rather than school year, so a confident seven-year-old and a quieter ten-year-old are both stretched.
- Français
- Spoken French first, through games, role-play and short written work, following the ground children cover in Swiss school French so the afternoon reinforces rather than competes with it.
- Deutsch
- Reading, writing and grammar for children in the German-language school system, and Hochdeutsch confidence for children who arrived recently.
- Python Programming
- From a first variable to a working program. Children build small games and tools they can show at home, and learn to read an error message without panic. Starts at nine, because it leans on written fluency.
- Digital Literacy
- How search, sources, AI tools, passwords and privacy actually work. Children practise judging what they read and using AI tools openly, with an adult in the room asking why.
- STEM: Maths, Physics & Code
- Taught by Dr. Ilya, a geophysicist and programmer. Children take a real question — how a ball moves through the air, why planets orbit, how an earthquake could be modelled — and work the scientist's loop: question, model, code, experiment, analyse, visualise, explain. They finish with a working model and the ability to say what it means.
Learn STEM from a working scientist
From curiosity to discovery
Dr. Ilya is a geophysicist and programmer. In his sessions children do not learn coding for its own sake — they use maths, physics and code together to answer a question they actually care about.
A child leaves with a working model and an explanation they can give out loud.
How a scientist actually works — and how the afternoon runs
Questions a child might take on
Real science
Questions taken from the natural world, not from a worksheet.
Real coding
Programming used to investigate an idea, not only to make games.
Real mathematics
Where a maths concept becomes useful the moment it is applied.
Real-world thinking
Classroom knowledge tied to something a child can see happening.
Every module ends with a Young Scientist Showcase
Parents are invited in. Each child presents the question they investigated and the model they built to answer it — and takes the whole thing home.
What your child walks out with
- The question they chose to investigate
- Their mathematical model of it
- The Python program they wrote
- Their graphs and visualisations
- What they discovered
- A short presentation, given aloud
Fees, calendar and everything else

What a module looks like
Ten sessions of 90 minutes with the same teacher and the same eight children, ending in something your child can show you.
Sessions 1 to 2
Placement
Where your child actually is, in language and on a keyboard. Groups are set from this, not from age.
Sessions 3 to 12
Weekly work
Language work and screen work in the same afternoon, each session ending with something spoken aloud or run on a machine.
Sessions 13 to 16
Build a project
A presentation, a story or a small program, prepared in the language your child is learning.
Sessions 17 to 18
Show and note
Children present to the group and to you. You receive a written progress note at the end of the module.
Children develop:
- Communication
- Language Confidence
- Digital Fluency
- Computational Thinking
- Problem Solving
The Swiss NewEra approach
Digital well-being & human development
This runs through all three pathways, rather than being another subject you have to choose. There is nothing extra to add to the basket and nothing extra to pay.
Every programme integrates:
