In the current annual report, we place omnimodal education at the centre. We show how innovative learning models, new role concepts and regulatory scope interact, and what impulses this creates for the education sector. The report provides context and food for thought for education that meets the pace of our time.

In 2025, the focus was on integrating Didac schools into the Kalaidos Education Group. Together with Minerva, various multilingual courses were created in the field of commercial schools and 10th grade. In addition, Didac in Bern was integrated into the Effingerstrasse location in terms of space and organisation, further strengthening the joint presence on site.
In 2025, higher vocational education and training focused on strategic development and served as the substantive and organisational preparation for the innovation steps from 2026. At the same time, WISS – under new management – consistently pursued its growth course. At AKAD, the new management marked the start of a strategic and organisational realignment towards a clearly customer- and market-oriented organisation with a sharpened strategy.
In 2025, Kalaidos University of Applied Sciences set key structural and content-related impulses. Since August, all regular examinations have been conducted digitally and independent of location via the Inspera platform – with up to 1,000 students per session. New Bachelor’s programmes in Law and Business Law as well as continuing education offers in Applied Psychology were launched; in Lausanne, the Bachelor’s in Applied Psychology started for the first time.
With 45 business consulting projects, the theory-to-practice transfer was further strengthened. Internationally, the University achieved first place in the Plug & Play University Programme.
The media sector was characterised by strategic decisions in 2025. Following a decision by the Board of Directors, Edupartner, Edubase and Edubook AG were spun off. The transition to new ownership and the safeguarding of jobs were successfully implemented. At the same time, Compendio further developed its range of teaching materials and digital infrastructure: in cooperation with the St. Gallen Banking Advisory Centre, a new trilingual teaching material for SAQ personal certification was created. With the launch of the new B2C web shop, central systems were connected and processes further modernised.
Our annual theme
Omnimodal education systematically integrates learning across all relevant modalities. Face-to-face, digital and hybrid formats as well as synchronous and asynchronous forms of learning are combined within a coherent didactic architecture. This creates flexible, personalised learning processes that promote competence development and capacity to act.

Omnimodal education is our design approach for a networked educational reality: integrated, flexible and consistently competence-oriented.
