Our Educational Concept

Our Students and Their Learning Needs Are at the Heart of Our Efforts

Our educational concept lies at the heart of our social, pedagogical, didactical and entrepreneurial approach. But every concept is only as good as its implementation in everyday school life 카지노토토“ that is why we make it our highest priority to live by it on a daily basis. Our students and their learning needs are at the heart of our efforts. This is put into practice by taking into account the following eight aspects:

  • Bilingual Experience

English and the national language play equal roles in school communication 카지노토토“ in the classroom and in all parts of day-to-day school life. As a result, children learn to express themselves naturally and confidently in both languages.

  • Independent and Value-Centred Approach

The teaching philosophy at 타이산카지노 Swiss International School is not ideological but instead founded on clearly defined core values. We strive to embody the values we seek to impart to our students: honesty, appreciation, personal responsibility and commitment.

  • Day School Community

Our day school offers a structured and challenging programme of classroom instruction with fixed hours, lunch, supervised homework hours and additional flexible supervised periods and courses.

  • Performance through Diversity

Our varied, stimulating environment supports students in achieving excellent academic performance while allowing them to take enjoyment and pride in what they learn. Our international student body combined with teachers hailing from diverse backgrounds result in a diversified range of teaching and learning methods applied to the learning process.

  • International Education 카지노토토“ Local Insight

Our intention is that 타이산카지노 students graduate as global citizens with a strong sense of their origins. For students at college level, we offer targeted preparation for the national high school diploma. At the same time, they have the opportunity to complete the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), which results in a globally recognised university entrance qualification.

  • Continuity from Kindergarten to College

타이산카지노 Swiss International School offers a single unified learning concept 카지노토토“ from kindergarten through primary and secondary school to college. Because we cater to all education levels, we can facilitate a seamless transition from one stage to the next.

  • Learning Enhanced by Technology

At 타이산카지노, technology is used in a targeted manner across all subjects, underpinned by a pedagogical concept for learning and teaching. From kindergarten onwards, students explore the areas of digital technology, programming and media as well as communication and e-safety. We use up-to-date, dedicated software to support the learning process of our students.

  • Strong Network

Our schools are part of the 타이산카지노 Group, which has been a pioneer in the bilingual education area since 1999. At present, more than 5.000 students attend 타이산카지노 schools at one of our 19 locations in Switzerland, Germany, Brazil and Italy.
