Schulleitung

Bewusstsein für Verantwortung, Pflichtgefühl und hohe soziale Kompetenz.

Die Lernenden stehen im Mittelpunkt all meiner Bemühungen. Gleichzeitig bin ich mir aber bewusst, dass nur ein konzeptionell, ökonomisch, organisatorisch und sozial solide aufgestelltes Unternehmen einen Schulbetrieb gewährleisten kann, der Menschen fürs Leben bildet.

Im Folgenden werden die Schulleitungsmitglieder in ihrer jeweiligen Muttersprache vorgestellt.

Shane Peter, Principal

Shane Peter became principal of SIS Pfäffikon-Schwyz in 2018. Before stepping into the role, Shane had been teaching at SIS for four years and held the vice principal position in Pfäffikon.

Prior to SIS he held leadership positions as athletic director, CAS coordinator, and service learning coordinator for an IB world school, and worked closely with school colleagues as part of the leadership team.

His qualifications include a master’s of education in athletic administration, a master of science in education with an emphasis in social studies and language arts, and a bachelor’s in English literature.

Shane is a firm believer in encouraging the students to “be the change they want to see in the world.” His main priority is guiding students to achieve their potential.

Ms. Oettinger is extremely happy to be part of the SIS team and cannot wait to teach and learn from your children.
