A bilingual education (instruction in both German and English) coupled with a blend of recognized curricula and multi-cultural staff leads to an education which suits the needs of expatriates, binational and Swiss families alike. Students experience education in which in one aspect local culture is embedded and in the other a wider global perspective is achieved. The school currently offers education from 3 to 18 years old. An accredited CIE centre, SIS is able to offer IGCSE courses and examinations for pupils in year 10 and 11. In May 2009 SIS Swiss International School has been authorized to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma programme. The SIS mission is to provide a stimulating and academically challenging bilingual education within an atmosphere of mutual respect and support in order that all students reach their full potential and become life long learners. The school's philosophy is to create: -Independent, inquisitive, self-motivated learners who are encouraged to strive for academic excellence and take pride in their achievements. -An understanding and enjoyment of cultural diversity and an appreciation of language and to provide: -A curriculum that is designed and continually evaluated to meet local and international criteria and deliver a high standard of knowledge and skills -A low student to teacher ratio to encourage and support individual abilities Instruction and communication in the mother tongue of their teacher -Enhanced integration within the local community through language acquisition and understanding of local culture. | ||||||||||||||||||
