The SIS Swiss International School is an international, private all-day school group with locations in Switzerland, Germany, Brazil and Italy, which offers continuous bilingual education in German and English from kindergarten to university entrance level according to the immersion principle[1][3]. It provides its students with a high-quality, international and at the same time locally rooted education that enables them to act as self-confident global citizens[3][4].
At the heart of the pedagogical concept is the lived bilingualism, in which English and German are equal languages of communication and work, accompanied by a modern all-day offer with flexible care times, targeted support and a wide range of courses and activities[3][5]. The structured program includes teaching units in block times, lunch, homework supervision and additional courses before and after regular school hours. The schools offer national and international qualifications such as the German Abitur and the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB) and enable a transition between school levels without examinations[1][5].
The SIS pursues a value-oriented, independent educational policy that promotes honesty, appreciation, personal responsibility and commitment in dealing with learners[3]. A particular focus is on a performance-oriented and diverse learning culture, which is enriched by an international student body and a multicultural teaching staff[3]. Learning is supported by the use of contemporary technologies to strengthen the digital competence of students[3].
In terms of sustainability, the SIS is guided by the promotion of a sustainable world through the education of responsible, compassionate leaders who are able to actively shape global social challenges[4]. The schools offer their students opportunities for international mobility within the school network, so that intercultural experiences are promoted and personal growth is supported[5].
The SIS Swiss International School stands for education as a holistic process in a familiar and learning-friendly environment that focuses on both academic excellence and social and ethical values. Through its continuous expansion in several countries and the support of the Klett Gruppe, it creates sustainable educational opportunities for a new generation of globally minded people[1][3].
