Years of the Swiss School in Singapore
INTERESTS
ON 2 MAY 1967, THE SWISS SCHOOL IN SINGAPORE OPENED ITS DOORS WITH 18 STUDENTS. THE FIRST CLASSES WERE HELD AT THE SWISS CLUB WHILE THE NEW SCHOOL WAS BEING BUILT.
FOUNDED ON PARTNERSHIP, BUILT ON GOODWILL The school was founded in 1967 to cater to the growing number of Swiss companies who were transferring married Swiss specialists with families to Singapore. Originally open primarily to Swiss students, the school has since become an international meeting place where many nationalities, languages and cultures converge and enrich each other.

Not only was the school founded on Swiss Club land, but its founding fathers were also important members of the Swiss Club. The school, together with
the Swiss Club, soon became the hub of the Swiss community in Singapore. To this day, the school continues to enjoy the support of the Club, the Embassy and all the pillars of the Swiss community. The founding of the school was made possible by the generous support of numerous Swiss companies, along with the ongoing patronage of the Canton of Zug. We continue to benefit from the extraordinarily generous educational and material support of this canton.
