Trust and Social Proof
The RIS Swiss Section provides a high-quality Swiss education which is officially recognized by the government of Switzerland. This outstanding institution prioritizes academic excellence while fostering personal growth in a stimulating multicultural environment. With highly dedicated teachers and staff, children benefit from a well-rounded education in all our human dimensions. Based on solid foundations, the students are well prepared for any future academic or personal challenge.
English is indeed the language of the globalized world today, no one will doubt that. But German is and remains a very important language, a world language. For myself, it has always been a great concern that my children do not lose the mastery of and everyday reference to their mother tongue, precisely, because I work in a profession that involves living in many foreign countries.
As the German Ambassador to Thailand, I am pleased to endorse the RIS School's commitment to providing an exceptional educational experience. The school's dedication to academic excellence, cultural diversity, and personal growth is evident in its vibrant community of students, teachers, administration, and parents. It's truly a top choice for families seeking quality education for their children. Furthermore, the school offers a wide array of supplementary activities and programs to ensure students are well-prepared for future success.
The school’s mission to teach interdisciplinary competencies impresses our family. We chose this school for our daughter because we want to maximize her choices in life by giving her more language skills in the most natural way, allowing her to experience a variety of cultures, and opening more education pathways and career opportunities.
We are a Thai/Swiss family with twin boys that are at the RIS Swiss Section for 10 years, since grade 1. Thailand and Switzerland enjoy a longstanding, strong bilateral bond and the authentic values of Switzerland plus our exceptional education system enjoy a high level of recognition here in the kingdom. Quality education, holistic learning and multilingualism tutored in a family-like environment makes this school unique. For our boys Luke and Simon it is of high value that the internationally recognized diplomas will allow them to choose whether to further educate themselves in Thailand, Switzerland or literally anywhere of their choosing.

We chose this school over 10 years ago mainly because of the solid Swiss curriculum that will keep all doors open for our children after graduation. The bonus is that the school also has a warm and inclusive family atmosphere, in which the children feel comfortable, supported, and motivated to learn. In general, we are very happy with the school that values the development of each child into self confident, independent thinkers.
The small, family like school community, unique learning environment with Swiss and German curriculum have been the main reasons for our decision to enroll our children with RIS Swiss section. Besides the core values of creative learning was a deciding factor
What we love about RIS Swiss Section is how it teaches our kids to be independent and self-confident. Critical thinking is an important feature of the Swiss and German education system (rather than just memorizing and repeating study content). Also, Swiss Section is a relatively small school community, which has almost a family-feel to it. A perfect environment for both kids and parents.
Our son David started his school career in a classic English private school environment. As parents we found it challenging to move from the UK to Thailand and change the school system from classic English to Swiss German. How surprised we were when we saw how our son immediately felt fully integrated into a community where cameradery amongst the students is paramount. David's teachers provide outstanding support with the German language! He's now practically bilingual. From the first day, David loved to go to school at RIS Swiss Section and now, almost two years after joining the school, we can't imagine a better place for him and for us as parents. We give this school a 10/10.
The school not only cultivates education or academics but also the children’s self- identity.
