Fiechten is our Middle School campus for Grade 7 and 8.
Situated in an existing school building in Reinach Süd, Fiechten campus is conveniently located between our two other campuses and one tram-stop north of Aesch Campus where Grade 6 is located. Directions to Fiechten Campus.
At International School Basel there are professionally-trained and qualified nurses to provide care when needed, and clear guidelines to help maintain a healthy environment for all.
All three campuses have a medical room and qualified nurses. They provide first aid and basic medical care, and give advice regarding local health care facilities.
All our staff are trained in basic first aid and a number are certified first aiders. Staff rooms contain information about students who have serious health issues to enable staff to easily recognise these students.
All staff and parents are issued with an ID badge. This must be worn in a visible manner whilst on the school property. Visitors sign in at the main reception desk at either campus and receive a visitor’s badge. All visitors sign out and return the badges before leaving the premises. Anyone without proper ID will be asked to go back to reception to sign in.
Lockdown and evacuation practices take place on a regular basis to ensure that students and personnel on campus are well-prepared in the unlikely event of an emergency. Procedures are reviewed with students prior to the practice drills.
In line with the school’s Mission and Philosophy, International School Basel is committed to ensuring that all children in our care are afforded a safe and secure environment that nurtures academic, social and emotional growth.
To this end, we have a Child Protection Policy in place to respond to concerns of ‘physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual abuse, while in the care of parent(s), legal guardian(s)’ or any other person who comes into contact with the child. (Article 19, UN Convention of the Rights of the Child)
As a school located in Switzerland, we comply with Swiss Federal and Cantonal laws pertaining to child protection.
The Fiechten Campus library offers a robust middle years fiction collection in English, German, French and Spanish.
Our Middle School Library is resourced to provide the perfect stepping stone and support for the MYP Curriculum. The library provides a collection of books, magazines and online resources which have been tailored to supplement Grade 6 - 7 learning experiences.
The Fiction collection is well stocked with age appropriate books from all genres, including Graphic Novels and Short stories. In addition there are specific sections for German, French and Spanish to support the Modern Languages taught. The fiction collection is regularly updated so that the students always have access to the latest books in the Fiction World.
Students have some exciting reading events to look forward to – namely Golden Cowbell Awards and the Battle of the Books Competition, these are sure to create a buzz around reading.
The library works with teachers to integrate research, evaluation and citation skills into the curriculum.
