The SIS Swiss International Schools are a group of 15 private day schools in Switzerland, Germany and Brazil offering continuous education from kindergarten through to college. As of 2014, 2,180 students are enrolled at SIS.〔(SIS World 2014 )〕 SIS has been operating schools in Switzerland since 1999, in Germany since 2008, and in Brazil since 2011. It is a joint venture of Kalaidos Education Group (Switzerland) and Klett Group (Germany). == Education == Designed to fulfill the educational goals of local as well as internationally mobile families, the SIS programme is centred on a consistently bilingual classroom instruction and peer experience in the national language and English, culminating in a diploma with national and international university entrance qualifications. SIS’ schools in Switzerland and in Germany are EFQM-certified. The day schools, whose slogan is “International Education – Local Insight”, aim to foster their students’ development into “global citizens” through the following pillars:〔 * Core Values: SIS has no ideological, political, or religious affiliations. It states “honesty, respect, personal responsibility, and keeping one’s word” as its core values.〔 * Language: English and German (Portuguese in the case of the Brazilian school) play equal roles in school communication – 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. * Curriculum and Qualifications: Each SIS school’s curriculum is based on the regulations of that school’s state, supplemented by elements of international curricula. In addition, SIS students have the opportunity to complete their school’s state high school diploma and/or the International Baccalaureate (IB). The SIS branches that offer high school education (SIS Basel,〔(International Baccalaureate - SIS Swiss International School Basel )〕 SIS Zürich〔(International Baccalaureate - SIS Swiss International School Zürich )〕 and SIS Stuttgart-Fellbach〔(International Baccalaureate - SIS Swiss International School Stuttgart-Fellbach )〕) are accredited IB World Schools. * Transition between levels and branches: With kindergarten, primary schools and secondary schools in one institution, SIS claims to ensure a smooth transition from each level to the next, as well as from one branch to another. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SIS Swiss International School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
