About this school
The Swiss School in Singapore (SSiS) was founded by Marie-Therese and Werner Kaufmann-Sialm and opened on 2 May 1967 with 18 kindergarten children and ten primary pupils. The same year it was recognised by the Swiss government as an official Swiss School Abroad. The Canton of Zug supports and supervises its teaching standards, and the Canton of Valais is patron of the French-language section opened in August 2019. It is a small, family-oriented school that welcomes children of any nationality or religion.
SSiS teaches the Swiss curriculum in two streams, German and English or French and English:
- Pre-school, with Little Tots and Playgroup
- Kindergarten 1 and 2 and primary (Grades 1-6), with mixed-age learning
- Secondary (Grades 7-10)
For Grades 11 and 12, students can continue to the IB Diploma Programme through a pathway with UWCSEA.
The campus sits in a green, quiet part of Bukit Timah beside the Swiss Club, with buildings arranged around a courtyard. It has air-conditioned classrooms, playgrounds, a multi-purpose hall, a sports court, a science lab, a German and English library, a kitchen, a garden, an art studio, and psychomotor and speech therapy rooms.
