Bilingual Education. Endless Opportunities.

English and German play equal roles in school communication – in the classroom and in all parts of day-to-day school life. As a result, children learn to express themselves naturally and confidently in both languages.

The teaching philosophy at SIS Swiss International School is independent and guided by clear values. We strive to embody the values we seek to impart to our students: integrity, appreciation, responsibility and commitment. Our aim is to support students in establishing their own cultural, linguistic and social identity.

SIS Swiss International School offers a single unified learning concept – from kindergarten, primary and secondary school through to college level.Our day school offers a structured and challenging bilingual programme with a well-organised daily schedule, including lunch and varied extracurricular activities.

The varied, stimulating environment of SIS Swiss International School supports students in attaining academic excellence while allowing them to take enjoyment and pride in what they learn. We pursue performance through a student-centred approach, recognising that excellence is achieved when each student is known, supported, challenged and inspired to grow.

Our intention is that SIS students graduate as global citizens with a strong sense of their origins. For students at college level, we offer targeted preparation for the national high school diploma. At the same time, they have the opportunity to complete the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), which results in a globally recognised university entrance qualification.

At SIS Swiss International School, our students develop a global mindset through meaningful interaction with different cultures, perspectives and ways of thinking. Through this, they cultivate empathy, critical thinking and adaptability, broadening their understanding of both local and global contexts. Our international student body combined with teachers hailing from diverse backgrounds result in a range of teaching and learning methods applied to the learning process.

At SIS, technology is used in a targeted manner across all subjects, underpinned by a pedagogical concept for learning and teaching. From kindergarten onwards, students explore the areas of digital technology, programming and media as well as communication and e-safety. We use up-to-date, dedicated software to support the learning process of our students.

Our schools are part of the SIS Group, which has been a pioneer in the bilingual education area since 1999. At present, around 5.000 students attend SIS schools at one of our 20 locations in Switzerland, Germany, Brazil and Italy. Our international organisation provides teachers and students with a platform to exchange experiences and insights across national borders.
