What people say
As a member of the Swiss community in Medellin, I am excited about the creation of the Swiss school. It will be a great opportunity for Swiss, Colombian and other children to receive a high quality education with a focus on Swiss values such as excellence, respect and responsibility. Furthermore, I believe that this initiative will also boost the development of Medellin and the region by attracting more families and businesses interested in being part of this vibrant educational community. Without a doubt, the Swiss school in Medellín will be a great contribution to the education and growth of our city.
I am full of confidence and conviction that we on the Board of Directors are a well rehearsed, harmonious and efficient team, whose experience and knowledge gained so far will be profitably contributed by each of us to this exciting school project, so that the inauguration of the school can take place by the end of August 2024.
