Organisation
SIS Swiss International School is recognised by the canton’s educational authorities and is a firm fixture in the Swiss school landscape. At the same time, our schools are part of a growing SIS network within Switzerland and abroad. We offer bilingual education from kindergarten through to college. The SIS programme is centred on consistent bilingual classroom instruction and peer experience in the national language and English, culminating in a national or international university entrance qualification. Currently more than 5.000 students from both local and internationally mobile families attend classes at one of the 17 schools in Switzerland, Germany and Brazil. SIS is a company of the Kalaidos Swiss Education Group which belongs to the Klett Group Germany.

Our sustainability ambition: we model what we teach
A Long-Term Perspective Implies Acting Sustainably
Not only how we operate as a school but especially how and what we teach has an impact on future generations. We are aware that as an educational institution, we hold a double responsibility in society for the matter of sustainability. We are therefore committed to sustainability in two ways: firstly, as a company we are striving for climate neutrality. Secondly, we anchor sustainability in education and promote sustainable, cross-curricular and cross-level initiatives launched by sustainability teams in the individual SIS schools.
Quality Policy
SIS Swiss International School guarantees high educational and quality standards:
- We regularly review the implementation of the curriculum. This is to ensure that the excellent teaching and learning standards that apply to all SIS schools are met and that our students receive the best possible learning experience.
- Structures and processes at SIS locations are continuously evaluated and developed.
- At SIS Basel and SIS Zürich, we offer an officially authorised bilingual Swiss Gymnasium with in-house examinations (Hausmaturität) and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP).
- All SIS schools periodically participate in the international benchmarking test ISA (International Schools’ Assessment) and the national benchmarking tests Lernlupe and Lernpass Plus.
