Before and after school care

At Terra Nova Bilingual School, we are here for our pupils not only during school hours but also before and after class. A varied selection of after-school clubs allows children to pursue special interests and develop their talents.

7:30–8:00 a.m.: Time to arrive and settle in. Children can play freely, and a light breakfast/snack is included in the care package.

8:00–8:30 a.m.: Classrooms are open and teachers are present. This is a time for students to work on homework, prepare for the day, or ask questions.

8:30 a.m.: Start of lessons.

We provide flexible after-school care options tailored to your family’s needs. You can choose between extended care, after-school clubs, or a combination of both – depending on what suits your daily routine best.

You can book after-school care from the end of the school day (3:15 p.m., or 12:00 noon on Wednesdays) until 6:30 p.m. On Wednesdays, the care fee includes lunch in our school cafeteria.
During after-school care, children can play freely indoors or outdoors, do crafts or simply unwind – always under the supervision of a trained staff member.

Every afternoon, we offer a range of engaging clubs led by experienced instructors. They are fun, build friendships, and promote social and practical skills.
We place great value on offering a broad selection of activities to meet the diverse interests of our students. For organisational reasons, registration is valid for one school year. If space is available, it may be possible to switch clubs during the semester in consultation with school leadership.
Several times a week, students from Year 1 onwards can attend supervised homework support. In a calm environment and under the guidance of a teacher, children can complete their assignments, study, and prepare for assessments – with help if needed.

Our Terra Nova school bus operates between Meilen and Tiefenbrunnen. Due to traffic considerations, trips into Zurich city are not available.
The bus picks up and safely brings your children home, managed by a highly experienced company specialising in school bus services.
For organisational reasons, departure times and locations will be provided shortly before the semester begins.

During at least six weeks of the school holidays each year, we offer a range of exciting holiday courses – spread across the autumn, winter sports, spring, and summer breaks.
