A New Campus. A Proven Method.
Trinity Montessori in Horgen is new. Our experience is not.
For years, our Serendipity campus in Zollikon has taught children with the same method, the same standards and the same academic rigour. Children here work at the upper limit of their own academic capacity — never at the pace of an average — because our environment and our method let them advance the moment they are ready, rather than waiting for a class to catch up.
The results become visible when they transition. In public and international schools alike, our children arrive academically ahead of what is expected of them.
Serendipity has had a waiting list for years. Trinity begins now.

Yes — our Art Atelier is one of our three pillars, alongside Montessori pedagogy and Forest & Nature. Children work with pottery, woodworking and painting, and have a music and dance room as well as a sensory room. Every two months they explore a new artist — recently Yayoi Kusama, Salvador Dalí and Antoni Gaudí — learning about their life, country and culture, and then creating original work inspired by them.
