A total of 8 major and 13 supplementary subjects are open to learners.
The day school is almost unique at the grammar school level: the learners spend their school day together on the school campus, benefit from a cafeteria and have a personal workplace. In addition, they have the opportunity to be supported by the teaching staff in their specialist studies.

School reform
Various reform steps have taken place at the Immensee grammar school since 1985. Today long lessons lasting 70 minutes and epoch lessons form the teaching structures. Only the foreign languages are not taught in epochs. A specialty of the Immensee high school was the introduction of SOL ( self-organized learning ). This learning vessel is now used by numerous high schools. The framework conditions differ from school to school. The Zürcher Oberland Cantonal School even conducts self-study semesters.
Boarding school
There are currently around 60 students living in the boarding school, who have their rooms in the Barralhaus and in the upper secondary school building.
