Over 1,300 students from more than 50 countries attend one of the school’s four campuses (Early Childhood Center in Kilchberg for students aged 3 to 5; Lower School in Wädenswil for students aged 5 to 11; Middle School in Kilchberg for students aged 11 to 14; Upper School in Adliswil for students aged 14 to 18. {{Asof|2011}} it is the largest international school in the Zurich area.[1]HistoryThe Pre-School to Grade 12 Zurich International School was formed in 2001 through the merger of the American International School of Zurich and the International Primary School of Zurich. The American International School of Zurich (AISZ) was founded in 1963 in a Swiss villa (built in 1914) in Kilchberg. The building was renovated and expanded in 1993/4. In 2008 this became the ZIS Middle School for students aged 11 to 14. The English Language Kindergarten (ELK), later renamed the International Primary School of Zurich (IPSZ), opened in 1970 in Horgen and in 1979 moved to the current Early Childhood Center. This villa, which was built in 1906 on the shore of Lake Zurich in Kilchberg, is now attended by children aged three to four. The purpose-built Lower School opened in Wädenswil in 2002 and is attended by students aged four to 11. In 2008 a new Upper School opened in Adliswil and is attended by students aged 14 to 18. A fifth campus, ZIS Baden, opened in 2008 in the city center. Initially this was for children aged three to 11, but in 2010 expanded to include a Middle School for students aged 11 to 14. This campus closed in July 2015 due to low enrollment.
