The Swiss School in Singapore was established in 1967 as a non-profit organization to serve the educational needs of the Swiss expatriate community in Singapore. Over its five-decade history, the school has gradually expanded its facilities and educational offerings while preserving its connection to Swiss educational traditions and values.
The Swiss School community comprises families from over 20 nationalities, with a significant portion from Switzerland, Germany, and other European countries. The school calendar features traditional Swiss celebrations including Swiss National Day, Räbeliechtli (turnip lantern) parade, St. Nicholas Day, and seasonal events like the Christmas market and Spring Festival. Parents regularly participate in community-building activities such as family picnics, cultural evenings, and sports days that reflect the school's multicultural character while maintaining Swiss traditions.
The Swiss School's Parent Teacher Association, known as the Parent Forum, serves as a vital link between families and the school administration. Parent representatives from each class meet regularly with school leadership to discuss matters relevant to student life and learning. Throughout the year, parent volunteers assist with school events like Sports Day, organize class outings, and help welcome new families through the buddy system that pairs established families with newcomers. The group also coordinates coffee mornings and parent workshops on topics ranging from educational approaches to settling into life in Singapore.
