A "foreign" country At our school there are many foreign languages - about 50 % of our students are strangers. Men, women and children have to leave their native country and become refugees, so they are looking for a safe place to stay. They arrive in a foreign country, do not understand the language, know hardly how we live. what we eat, how we deal with the others. |

The strong increase in population of Switzerland in the last years corresponds approximately to the number of the large cities Zurich and Bern together. At the end of December 1997 there were 1'300'000 foreign people in Switzerland - that is 20% of population. For our schools this means that there are pupils of about 36 nations who go to school and live in Spreitenbach. Actually there are 679 foreigners and 619 Swiss, who attend our school. Amazing!!! There are more foreign pupils in than Swiss ones. Among other nationalities (most of the from Italy and former Yugoslavia) there are Americans, Mexicans, Chileans and even Dominican's. |
