According to a mid-June job posting seeking qualified primary school teachers, “A new primary school will start in Zollikon this fall for children starting second grade” from August 2023. In the upscale suburb of Zurich, the boy wonders what’s behind it, as the school administration has yet to hear about the new school and the canton of Zurich primary school authority has not received applications for a new private school.

School with humanitarian values

Research around the operator now shows that the investor behind the school project is Margarita Louis-Dreyfus, President of the agribusiness group Louis Dreyfus Company, a Zollikon resident and mother of five. The advertisement stresses that sought-after primary school teachers should believe in a pedagogy that “emphasizes traditional humanistic values” and “minimizes the use of digital media”. Issues that are also very important to Margarita Louis-Dreyfus, as she emphasized in an interview with BILANZ about two months ago. You have to ask yourself how children should preserve their humanity in the world of social media and digital education, she warned there. She has now started her own little school called Agora, she. Since the concept is based on homeschooling – it will be taught in two parallel classrooms of five students each – it is not necessary to apply to the public school authority for a new private school.

Teachers already found

Meanwhile, seven teachers were found and ten students find themselves in the comfortable environment of being taught in German and English by experienced teachers with 15 to 20 years of experience, so international schools will open up for them as well. Later. There is also a music teacher and swimming teacher.

Elsewhere things are not going so smoothly: there has been a lot of trouble recently in one of the primary schools in Zollik. In April, 25 teachers abruptly resigned after arguing with the school administration.
