International School Parent Magazine - Autumn 2023

Welcome to the Autumn Edition of International School Parent Magazine! Autumn is such a busy time – school is back in full swing, and Christmas seems to be right around the corner. As the leaves slowly start to change, we look forward to the cosy winter months, while our schools in the southern hemisphere look towards long summer days and warmer weather. Once again, we are thrilled to present to you a magazine filled with interesting and informative articles, exciting experiences, and practical tips for parents. The Autumn/Winter edition of International School Parent Magazine 2023 explores topical themes such as AI, and highlights some of the amazing initiatives led by schools in our community. We had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Conrad Hughes, Director General of Ecole Internationale de Genève (Ecolint). In this piece, Conrad shares his passion for education and provides an insightful glimpse of Ecolint’s vision for education in the future. We also continue our discussion of children’s mental health, the impact of AI on our LGBTQI+ community, the importance of lifesaving first aid skills for children, and present many more interesting articles and commentary. Autumn is a wonderful time to enjoy the outdoors. Check out the article about the diverse activities on offer in Switzerland, special resources for children in the Zurich area, and learn about the stunning landscape of Interlaken. We remain committed to helping parents and children make the most of their international school experience. Have a wonderful autumn/winter period and we look forward to bringing you more content again in the spring.
