Meet Our Board
Swiss Educational Association (SEA)
The Swiss Educational Association (SEA), founded in 1962, serves as the not-for-profit trusteeship for RIS Swiss Section-Deutschsprachige Schule Bangkok. At the Annual General Meeting (AGM), SEA’s members elect the seven-member school board, with the president, vice president, and treasurer required to be Swiss nationals. The board holds regular meetings with school management, teacher representatives, and Embassy representatives to define strategy, discuss current affairs, and explore new opportunities. Additionally, board committees for human resources, marketing, finance, and infrastructure provide strategic guidance to the school.
