AIMS OF GEMINI

Gemini international School

GEMINI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF SCHWYZ is a methodologically independent school based on certain key psychological and educational concepts with the aim of preparing children not only for success in school, but for success in life.

This entails extending the notion of "intelligence" beyond the traditionally recognised verbal, analytical and mathematical skills to encompass other essential skills and aptitudes as well. These include interpersonal skills (the ability to communicate effectively), social competence and a sense of responsible citizenship. Talents and aptitudes such as musicality, artistic talent, creativity and athletic ability are also nurtured and encouraged. Dazu gehören auch die Fähigkeiten wie sich zu präsentieren und miteinander zu kommunizieren, Sozialkompetenz und interkulturelle Verständigung. Deshalb wird  der Unterricht so individuell wie möglich erteilt.
