Admissions Process

Welcome to the Swiss International School. Our vision is to provide the highest quality learning opportunities for students age 3 to 18 years old.

This followed a rigorous authorisation process conducted by the IB Organisation (IBO). The school is one of the very few schools that have gone through the authorisation process for all three programmes (PYP, MYP, DP) at the same time and completed it in just two years.
