Kurzgymi Autumn Holiday Course in Zurich
The autumn holidays are the ideal time to start preparing systematically for the Kurzgymi entrance exam. Over five intensive course days, students consolidate key foundations in German and Mathematics and work on exercises tailored to the requirements of the Kurzgymi entrance exam.
Lessons take place in a small group of no more than eight students. This allows the teacher to address individual questions and accommodate different learning levels.
Course details and prices
The ideal way to get started with preparation for the Kurzgymi
The autumn holiday course is deliberately scheduled early in the preparation process for the Gymi entrance exam. The focus is on consolidating key fundamentals, identifying individual areas for improvement, and developing effective learning and problem-solving strategies.
This gives students clear guidance for the next steps in their preparation. After the course, there is still plenty of time to consolidate what they have learned and systematically address any remaining knowledge gaps.
Course content in German and mathematics
Teaching is tailored to the requirements of the short-term Gymnasium (Kurzgymi) entrance exam. Tasks are selected to suit the group’s current level, then worked through and discussed together.
German
In German, students work on reading comprehension, language analysis, grammar and spelling, as well as writing their own texts.
They learn to read task instructions carefully, identify key information and structure their answers and written texts clearly and coherently.
Mathematics
In mathematics, students review key foundational concepts and work through a range of question types.
Students practise recognising mathematical relationships, choosing suitable problem-solving strategies and checking their answers carefully.
What Students Take Away from the Course
- A stronger foundation in German and mathematics
- Greater confidence in tackling challenging tasks
- Effective learning, problem-solving and exam strategies
- A better understanding of individual strengths and areas for improvement
- Clear guidance for further exam preparation
- Greater confidence in their own abilities
Individual support in a small group
The autumn holiday course will run with a minimum of three students. Each group is limited to a maximum of eight students.
The small group creates a supportive learning environment with plenty of time for individual questions. Students also benefit from learning together and exploring different approaches to solving problems.
Focus and Relaxation
In addition to the German and Mathematics lessons, the course week includes a one-hour yoga session.
With simple exercises, students develop concentration, body awareness and relaxation. The yoga session provides a balanced break from intensive learning and introduces techniques for managing nervousness and performance pressure.
