Parents' Club Horgen

Our open communication strengthens mutual trust.

Communication between Parents, Teachers and School Management

Two representatives per class make up the Parents’ Club. They meet four to six times per academic year with members of the senior leadership team attending the meetings regularly to foster and support the cooperation between parents and the school.

In those meetings, the Parents’ Club addresses all matters concerning the school, like the planning and carrying out of school events and the support of school projects, to name two examples.

You can join the Parents’ Club to actively contribute towards our vibrant school life and help foster a sense of community among our families.

Guidelines for efficient communication

To guarantee purposeful and effective communication between the school and parents, we have defined clear communication guidelines, which will aide you in directing your suggestions, concerns and questions to the appropriate person.

Gazette

Twice a year we send out our magazine “Lakeside Gazette” to all parents of our students. Lakeside Gazette was created over 20 years ago by the Küsnacht Parents’ Club and has since reported on highlights from the school year, educational news, and other interesting topics related to Lakeside School and its students.
