The private school in St. Gallen
A tradition in education since 1964. Modern in terms of use.
We support children and young people who find too little support in public schools — with small classes, clear structures and individual educational paths.
About us
Since 1964, we have been helping students develop their talents and go their own way. As an established private school in St. Gallen, we offer more than just academic education: we create individual opportunities.
Educational offer
More education, less screen.
At Ortega School, your child can complete compulsory schooling from 1st grade to high school graduation within a family setting. Performance-oriented but always focused on people, individually yet permeable and connectable, we teach in small classes. We attach particular importance to the fact that our students do not spend the whole day at a screen. We are convinced that this helps and is good for children and young people.
