"We would like to thank the principal, the teachers, and the students at the school for all the attention given to Nina, and we want to extend a special thank you for selecting the wonderful family that welcomed our daughter. Her stay in Basel could not have been better. She was embraced by a caring and attentive family, made friends, discovered new places, and even fell in love with skiing! We are certain that this experience was very important for her personal growth, and that she will cherish these memories forever."

Luciana and André, parents from Nina from ESB Rio de Janeiro who did an exchange at SIS Basel during January and February 2025

"Sanah had a wonderful time at SIS Basel and with her host family. This experience will stay with Sanah for the rest of her life. She learnt a lot, enjoyed the lessons and the ski camp was simply the cherry on the cake. The teachers fully understood Sanah's situation regarding the new learning content and were always there to support her. This helpfulness motivated her to do her best. All in all, everything went smoothly with the exchange - whether it was the host family, ski camp, lunch or anything else. "
