History

[edit]

The Swiss School in Singapore was founded in 1967 and officially opened on May 2, 1967. Marie-Therese and Werner Kaufmann-Sialm were the first two teachers sent from Switzerland to educate 18 children in Kindergarten and ten students in primary classes.[2] On July 18, 1967, the "Swiss School Association" was registered as a company without share capital.
