International School Parent Magazine - Spring 2024
Welcome to the first edition of the International School Parent Magazine for 2024. We hope that you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed putting it together. Spring is a wonderful time – the weather is warmer, and the longer days help to boost our motivation. It is also the perfect time to start thinking about summer camps. We have curated a list of inspiring and interesting programmes and have presented them to you in a special feature beginning on page 40. In this edition we had the pleasure of interviewing both Nicola Sparrow, School Director of Aiglon College, and Andrea Spielmann, the Principal of the new SIS Basel-Allschwil school. In these articles, both these accomplished women share their passion for education and provide insight into the culture and ethos of their respective schools. We also continue our discussion of children’s mental health, drug use, communication, travel, and present many more interesting and topical articles and commentary. Check out the articles about the family activities in Lichtenstein, as well as unusual and exciting things to do in Switzerland, and an introduction to Basel the Swiss capital of culture and architecture. Once again, we are thrilled to present to you a magazine filled with interesting and informative articles, exciting experiences, and practical tips for parents. Have a wonderful spring and we look forward to bringing you more content again in summer.

BASEL<br />
– Switzerland’s<br />
culture capital and<br />
city of architecture<br />
Basel is a place of exciting contrasts. While classical<br />
modernism and street art may seem like they are worlds<br />
apart, both have a prominent place here. The number<br />
of buildings designed by world-famous architects in such close<br />
proximity is unsurpassed, all in the midst of an architectural setting<br />
that has evolved over centuries. We are in flux, constantly reshaping<br />
ourselves. So every time you come to Basel, you’ll discover<br />
something new.<br />
Basel is the perfect place to embark on a fascinating journey into<br />
the world of art. Around 40 museums, the world’s largest art fair<br />
and a lively, young art scene make Basel a compact city of culture<br />
with an appeal that extends well beyond Europe. The Fondation<br />
Beyeler is one of the most beautiful museums in the world and<br />
is renowned internationally for its prestigious exhibitions, its<br />
important collection of classical modernism and contemporary art<br />
and its ambitious schedule of events. Museum Tinguely houses the<br />
largest collection of works by the Swiss artist Jean Tinguely, while<br />
the Kunstmuseum Basel, one of the best-known museums of its<br />
kind in the world, is home to the world’s oldest public art collection.<br />
