Beginning of August Swiss School Bangkok received mail from the German Central Agency for Schools Abroad (Zentralstelle für das Auslandsschulwesen – ZfA). It contained the final report of the School Inspection of Schools Abroad (Bund-Länder-Inspektion – BLI), that had carried through an analysis of the quality of our school during the week of 21-25 March 2011 .The result fills us with a certain pride, since the inspection team concludes: “Swiss school Bangkok meets the requirements obligatory for the award of the label “Excellent German School Abroad”, in an outstanding way.” The full report can be downloaded here.

German Ambassador hands over BLI quality seal “Excellent German School Abroad” to Swiss School Bangkok

The new ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Thailand, Mr. Rolf Schulze, presented the award “Excellent German School Abroad” to Swiss School Bangkok during his visit at the school on August 24, 2011.
Beginning May 2011, German schools abroad that have been deemed worthy by a German government inspection team will be awarded the “Excellent German School Abroad” quality seal in the form of a certificate signed by German President Christian Wulff. With these certificates, the German President will reaffirm the excellent reputation German schools abroad enjoy as places of education and inter-cultural exchange. The new quality seal for schools abroad will also be a tribute to their efforts to raise standards with the aid of a comprehensive quality management process.
After the successful inspection by a Federal-State commission in March 2011, Swiss School Bangkok fulfills the requirements to be awarded the certificate of an “Excellent German School Abroad”.
In his visit, the new ambassador promised to support the school in the future. The director of Swiss School, Mr. Michael Gwerder, then expressed his gratitude to current and former members of the teaching staff for their exemplary commitment and cooperation, which eventually made this outstanding success possible.
