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 4.900 students from both local and internationally mobile families attend classes at one of the 19 schools in Switzerland, Germany, Italy and Brazil. SIS is a company of the Klett Group.

Secondly, we anchor sustainability in education and promote sustainable, cross-curricular and cross-level initiatives launched by sustainability teams in the individual SIS schools.
