A Perfect Blend
OF HOME AND SCHOOL
Two decades have passed since Bais Yaakov Machon Chen first opened its doors. Faced with the prospect of sending their young daughters away from home to continue their education, a group of dedicated parents, with rabbinic support, opened a local high school, where girls could study while living in their protected home environment.
From its truly humble beginnings, Bais Yaakov Machon Chen has matured into a preeminent academy, serving the Zurich community and beyond.

“The tools I received at Machon Chen from its wonderful teachers help me when making decisions. I just ask myself what Mrs. Kopelman, Mrs. Krakauer, or Mrs. Sternbuch would do in this situation. Usually, the answer is already vivid in my mind.”
Zippy S., BY Machon Chen graduate
“In Machon Chen, every single girl is valued and made to be a star. The staff at MC gives everyone the opportunity to shine and to show the class who they really are. They are able to bring every shy girl out of her shell, and instill depth and seriousness in the bolder ones. They show their students how every different personality, every strength, and even every weakness can be used to achieve something great. The teachers guide every one of their students with their individual personalities onto a different path so that they are able to get to the right destination.”
