Make the First Step

In a personal meeting with the school management, we will clarify your questions and present our educational concept. Afterwards, we will be happy to show you the school grounds and, if possible, give you an insight into a lesson. If you are not on site, we are available by e-mail or telephone. To make an appointment, please contact the school office of your choice or fill out the registration form below.

Your child is welcome to experience the SIS environment for one or two days. It is important to us that your child feels comfortable with us – the trial days are a first introduction.

We are happy that the educational offer at SIS matches your child's needs. You will receive the registration form during or after the interview with the school management in printed or digital form. Please fill it in completely and return it to the school.

As soon as we have received your registration, we will draw up the school contract. This will be sent to you together with the payment slip for the registration fee. Please return the signed contract and transfer the registration fee. By paying this fee, you reserve a place for your child. We look forward to welcoming your child at SIS Switzerland!

As we welcome students from both local and internationally mobile families, we accept enrolments all year round. If we have space in a class, new students can join at any time and thus also during the school year.

Experience shows that most children are enrolled in the spring, between February and April, so that they can start the new school year in August of the same year.

The school enrolment age varies from canton to canton and from location to location and is either three or four years. We therefore ask you to enquire at the school of your choice. On the following page, you will find an overview of our schools in Switzerland.

Yes, enrolment is possible even if a student speaks only one or neither of the two school languages. At SIS Swiss International School, children learn both German and English by immersion, even if their mother tongue is neither German nor English.

To support this, our schools offer German and English courses outside of class or as an intensive course during class time, depending on the school level.

During compulsory education (kindergarten to lower secondary level), entry to the SIS Swiss International School is granted at all locations without an entrance examination.

Transfers to post-compulsory education (from upper secondary level) are regulated differently depending on canton. We therefore ask you to contact the school of your choice in this regard. On the following page, you will find an overview of our schools in Switzerland.

If a year group or class is already full, the SIS schools maintain waiting lists. To secure a place for your child, please enquire about capacity at the school of your choice early on, preferably in the spring.

As soon as we have received the enrolment fee, a place is reserved for your child. The enrolment fee can be found on the respective school's price list.
