SIS Swiss International School is celebrating its 20 year anniversary. This year’s Summerfest at SIS Basel marked the event and saw students, parents, friends and family come together for a lot of fun, activities and performances.

Looking Back and Moving ForwardAt the end of the millennium, three students and two teachers formed the first bilingual class and laid the basis for SIS at SIS Basel. Today, SIS is a community of sixteen schools in three countries, eight of which are located in Switzerland, with more than 3.800 students living and learning in two languages.

“Summerfest has been an ongoing party for many years at SIS Basel. This year several members of the former and current SIS management team were present, there was a wall of pictures going back 20 years and I also gave a speech that highlighted our 20 years of service in the community,” explains Andrew Wulfers, principal of SIS Basel.

Flash Mob and Raffle At its highpoint, there were approximately 500 to 700 people in attendance at this year’s Summerfest. The community atmosphere was as jovial and vivacious as ever. “In addition to jumpy castles, climbing walls, and other games, we also had performances by the school music bands, the choir and more,” says Andrew Wulfers.
