Parent's Review of International School Berne in Berne, Switzerland

What is the name of your child's school? (Please report on one school per survey.)

International School Berne

In what town or city is this school located?

Berne

How would you describe this school? (i.e. American, British, International, Local, etc.)

International

What grade levels are represented at this school?

All

How do most children get to school everyday? (bus, train, walk, etc.)

The younger ones are mainly driven to school by their parents. Some of the older ones come by train.

How would you describe the facilities at this school? What extra-curricular activities are available?

There are many sporting activities available, but few others.

What has this school done to help your child transition from the curriculum in your home country into the curriculum in your new country? Are there programs to prepare your child for repatriation?

Nothing was done to help my child's transition to the new curriculum. Surprise was expressed at the gaps in her knowledge, but no practical suggestions for filling them were offered.

How would you describe the social activities available for parents through this school? Are there parent-teacher organizations?

There is a very active PTA. Unfortunately it seems to be geared towards non-working mothers and most events are held during working hours.

What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?

If your child is only going to be in Switzerland for a year or two, or is near the end of his or her schooling, then this might be the right choice. For young children and those who are likely to stay in Switzerland, I would recommend a Swiss state school.
