The SIS Swiss International School is a leading group of private all-day schools that consistently offers bilingual education in German and English from kindergarten to university entrance qualification. With over 5,000 students at 19 locations in Switzerland, Germany, Brazil and Italy, the SIS optimally prepares children and young people for a global future.[1][4][5]

The immersive instruction according to the principle "One person, one language" with native-speaking teachers promotes high language skills and cultural understanding. Students acquire national degrees such as the as well as international degrees such as the – often as a double degree.[1][2][5]

In Germany, there are seven locations, including Ingolstadt, Friedrichshafen, Kassel and Regensburg, which combine local roots with international flair.[3][7]
The Mission of SIS: To shape students as global citizens who are aware of their origins, think independently and act in a value-oriented manner. "International orientation – local roots" is at the center: Children grow up in diverse school communities that promote openness, respect and a commitment to achievement.[1][2][7]
Eight core principles guide the pedagogy:
The SIS belongs to the Klett Gruppe, one of the largest education companies in Europe, and benefits from a strong international network.[5][6]
Although explicit sustainability goals are not described in detail in the sources, SIS integrates value-oriented pedagogy with a focus on responsibility, respect for cultures and environmental learning through projects and technology. The all-day structure minimizes commuting and promotes sustainable lifestyles in the school community.[2][3] As part of a large educational network, SIS relies on long-term education as a contribution to sustainable development.[6]
Parents praise the concept: "A great all-day program with academic standards, sports, music and complete bilingualism – ideal for working families."[2] The SIS creates motivated learners who are proud of their achievements and open doors to the world.[1][7]
