St. Gilgen International School
St. Gilgen International School (StGIS) is a coeducational day and boarding school for students in ages 9 through 18. The school provides a primary and middle school curriculum that, in the last two years, leads to the highly coveted International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme qualification. English is the medium of instruction.
St. Gilgen International School participates in:
- The International Schools Council
- Educational Collaborative of International Schools (ECIS)
- The Swiss Group of International Schools (SGIS)
- Cambridge International Center (CIC)
Students in primary and middle schools take a variety of courses in subjects like world studies, German, English language and literature, science, math, the arts, music, and movement and wellbeing. Students in middle school also take a second modern language course.
The main campus of St. Gilgen International School is close to the boarding houses, "Bachwirt" for girls, "Traube" for boys, and "Kendler" for Grade 12 students. Originally hotels, they have been tastefully refurbished into superior, en suite lodgings featuring shared double or triple rooms. Its homes, which are grouped by age and gender, provide a comfortable and encouraging living space.
All of the boarding houses are first-rate establishments, and the school makes an effort to give each one a unique vibe and personality that complements the unique dynamics of the residents. The rooms may differ in size and arrangement, but the standards are high.
Rooms for students will contain:
- A bed, a desk, and a study chair
- Storage space for books, clothes, and personal items
- A combo safe for valuables
- A bedside light, and desk lamp
- Pinboard
Every room has an en suite bathroom, and many have balconies with views of the lake and mountains. In addition to improving the boarding experience, sharing a room fosters vital interpersonal skills. We try to minimize room changes as much as possible.
Boarding students who maintain good grades and who have the approval of their mentor, tutor, and house team are allowed to study in their rooms. However, they must complete their work efficiently within the allotted time, sit at their desks, and maintain a clean workspace. The visiting duty teacher and house team may ask younger students or those who require more supervision to work downstairs.
By the duties rota, each boarder will perform a house duty. This is to maintain housekeeping standards and foster a feeling of ownership and reverence for the Boarding House. Except for kitchen duty, which takes a little longer, each task should take no more than fifteen minutes.
These include emptying bins, sweeping entranceways, and maintaining boot racks. House prefects, who are senior students, can help make sure that these responsibilities are completed to the highest standard and are reported to the house parent.
