International School of Schaffhausen to expand its offer

Starting 2010, the International School of Schaffhausen (ISSH) will implement the so-called Middle and Diploma Years in its course offer. ISSH also still accepts new students, despite the high demand for places at international schools in the Greater Zurich Area.

The implementation of the Diploma Years in 2010 represents a significant improvement to the actual educational program. This degree can be compared with the Swiss «Matura», which allows access to undergraduate and graduate studies at university level. The curriculum of the ISSO is based on the guidelines of the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) which guarantees the compliance of ISSH with other IBO-certified schools worldwide. Since a top-of-the-line education offer for their children is critical for employees of international companies and expats, ISSH marks an important contribution to the attractiveness of the business location Schaffhausen.

A rapidly increasing number of students in the past years required the ISSH to move to new premises in August 2009 which is why ISSH currently is able to accept new applicants. Submission of application and school entry is possible all year round.
