Grade 10 Bridging Year

Swiss and international students may enroll year-round 🌏🇨🇭

Our Grade 10 Bridging Year Programme at the International School of Berne (ISBerne) is the perfect choice for local students who have completed compulsory education and are looking to expand their educational horizons. This experience is also known as a Brückenangebot or Passerelle. 

Our programme offers the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) curriculum in English, which opens up new pathways for continued education not available at other schools in Bern, Switzerland.  We extend a warm welcome to all students residing in the cantons of Bern, Neuchâtel, Fribourg, and Solothurn who want to enrol in this programme.

Our Grade 10 Bridging Year will give your child the freedom to pursue their passions and open doors for them to continue their education in Switzerland and abroad.

Bridge the gap, enhance the future

Take the first step towards a world of opportunities! Our students develop academically and personally with our stimulating curriculum, varied activities and supportive community.
