Testimonials from Various Perspectives

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.
