On behalf of the Board of SGIS, we warmly extend an invitation to you to attend the 2025 SGIS Annual Conference. 

Hosted by our brilliant colleagues at Leysin American School (LAS) we are excited to learn, laugh, and lead together.
From Friday March 7 to Saturday March 8 we will unite in exploration of "The Deliberate Design: educating the whole child".’
This conference theme centres our collective thinking on how schools can create the optimal conditions, and deliberate structures, within our society, our strategies and our scopes and sequences to enable our students to not only succeed in school, but to flourish in their lives.

From ethical intelligence to belonging, diversity to design thinking, the conference promises to provide for educators across Switzerland, a deep and meaningful learning experience. 

We are a proud organisation of committed and collaborative educators, and we warmly extend this invitation to you - to join us in the magnificent mountains of Leysin.
