Kantonsschule Kollegium Schwyz
Kantonsschule Kollegium Schwyz, Secondary school building in Schwyz, Switzerland
The Kantonsschule Kollegium Schwyz is a secondary school building in Schwyz that spreads across several wings on a spacious campus. The structure combines traditional Swiss architectural elements with modern additions designed for contemporary education.
The school was founded in 1856 as Kollegium Maria Hilf following the reconstruction of an earlier Jesuit college. It evolved from a boarding school for Catholic boys into a modern cantonal secondary school.
The school carries the name Kollegium, reflecting its connection to Catholic educational traditions. The student body regularly organizes performances and events that tie school life to the wider community.
The school campus is located in the city center and is generally accessible for tours or events. Visitors should check in advance about specific events or visiting hours, as the grounds are primarily used for education.
The campus sits on a historically significant location where the foundation stone of the original Jesuit college was laid in 1841. The school today thus preserves a piece of this earlier educational tradition on the same spot.
