Gymnasium entrance exam: crazy – that's how it works at our Stiftsschule Engelberg

You can find contact details and a form at the very bottom.

Yes, the Gymnasium entrance exam

Actually, we don’t have an entrance exam. The admission interview is what counts: We’ll look at your grade point average together, and we’d also like to know how motivated you are to get involved and make progress. One question, of course, is whether you can imagine living in a boarding school.

Perhaps you’d like to come for a trial visit soon, without obligation: This way you can see what our school and boarding school are like for you, and you’ll get to know your future classmates, as well as the teachers.

Secondary school, Four- and Six-Year Gymnasium, bilingual, IB

Depending on your goals, your grade point average and our experience, we offer you various options. For example, we may recommend that you first attend our secondary school and only later switch to the Four-Year Gymnasium…

… or start right away in the Six-Year Gymnasium; that’s possible with us. You can complete your Matura (high school diploma) bilingually, in German and English, and also graduate with the International Baccalaureate (IB). You can also prepare for an English certificate from Cambridge University.
