Opening of Schiller International School at Wickham Court
|
The opening of any new school is exciting, truly a cause for celebration. But a school set in a Tudor manor house surrounded by sparkling gardens, stately lawns and expansive playing fields is
special. It is made even more so by its dedication to small classes and highly individualized attention to all its students. And so it is with great pride that we announce the opening of a new international elementary and middle school at Wickham Court.
Commencing in September 2001, Schiller International School at Wickham Court will offer an excellent education to boys and girls from pre-kindergarten to eighth grade (ages 4-14). Designed to serve the needs of American, British, and
expatriate children from around the globe, its international curriculum embraces the traditions of Western education and culture, and includes language arts, mathematics, reading, science, and social studies. Our children will also enjoy working with specialist teachers as they explore
foreign languages, art, music/drama, PE, and, when necessary, English as a Second Language.
The secondary school (grades 9-12, ages 14-19) is based in central London, on the same campus as Schiller International University. The secondary school offers a complete American high school program. If students are successful in the high
school, they will be automatically accepted into the first year of an undergraduate degree program at any Schiller International University campus. In London, AS, BA, BBA, MA and MBA degrees are offered.

Special Report
IN LOVE WITH LEYSIN
|
There's never been a better time to visit Leysin than right now.
A thriving center for trendy sports, this pretty Swiss village has lent a real twist to the term "street credibility".
Whilst you're likely to get road raged by a tense tailback of high-tech commuters you might just want to watch out for those gangs of roller-blades and mountain bikes. If the bladers don't buzz you on Leysin's trademark hairpin bends, the bikers might just shave your head on their final flyover from mountain top to village bottom.
Snow, sun, rain, cloud - the mountains attract every kind of weather and incredibility it can all come together on the same day.
The College offers an impressive range of programs from the Schiller Academy high school preparatory program through the undergraduate AA, BA, BBA, and BS programs and on to the graduate MBA program. Not forgetting of course the CP Language Institutes specialising in English and French which run alongside the traditional College menu.

in the world as a singles player in the early 1990’s.
Emilio’s sister, Arantxa Shanchez-Vicario, formerly
ranked number 1 among professional tennis players, is still

headquarters, to finalize the joint venture between the Tennis
Academy of Sanchez and Schiller American High School.
The school is located in
Barcelona, providing all teenagers and tennis sport's fans an

invited Schiller American Academy to set up a full senior high
school program on the same site.
Emilio and the International
Tennis Academy Sánchez-Casal, also welcomed the Schiller's CP
Language Institute on the site of the Open Sports Club, a
100,000 square meter country club just outside Barcelona. The
tennis and language program runs throughout the year and is

Thai Queen Accepts
Schiller International University Honors
Festivities in the Royal Palace in
Bangkok marked the occasion (date) as the Queen of Thailand accepted an honorary degree
from an independent American university. She later presided over a banquet attended by 80
persons prominent in Thai society.
Queen Sirikit received a doctorate of humane letters from
the founder and president of Schiller International University, Dr. Walter Leibrecht. The
British and American ambassadors to Thailand joined many other distinguished guests in the
Throne Room of the palace to witness the ceremony. The Queen later announced her intention
to pay a return visit to the University's European centers.
The university degree was in honor of the Queen's
services to humanity. Queen Sirikit has launched many agricultural and craft projects
during a personal campaign to reduce poverty and alleviate its effects in Thailand.
"Queen Sirikit is a
remarkable leader," said Dr. Leibrecht, "who is really adored by her people. She
has always tried through her social projects to help them help themselves."
He said that the Queen's activities came
to the attention of Schiller International University (SIU) last year when it concluded a
cooperation agreement with Stamford University in Thailand. There are also many Thai
students enrolled at SIU, which offers bachelor's and master's degrees in international
business, hotel and tourism management, international relations and information
technology.
Schiller International University
was founded by Dr. Leibrecht 36 years ago. Today it has campuses in the USA, Great
Britain, France, Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and its 2000 students come from well over
100 countries. The institution's multinational environment is becoming increasingly
attractive to Asian students, according to Dr. Leibrecht. SIU recently opened an office in
the Chinese city of Delian and has developed programs in the Philippines.
