Openness as a fundamental principle
We are a young association that has been committed to full transparency from the start. Here you will find all information about our organisation, quality assurance and our development path.
Our transparency promise
The Humanistic School Switzerland is a registered association. We make no false statements about recognitions or titles. Our certificates are internal association qualifications – not state-recognised diplomas. We are working towards external quality certifications (eduQua, SVEB) and inform transparently about our progress.
