Annually, the SIS Swiss International Schools Group honours the three best extended essays from graduating students. The written assignments originate in the context of the final examination corresponding to the Matura, Abitur or International Baccalaureate (IB) exam.
The topics of the extended essays differ greatly. However, their common denominator is their presentation of an independent, autonomous piece of reflection and research, captured in a 4.000 word paper.
This year, students in the final year of SIS schools located in Rio de Janeiro, Basel, Zürich, Berlin, Friedrichshafen, Regensburg, Stuttgart-Fellbach and Ingolstadt could take part, but only the best-graded assignment per location was submitted for the SIS Best Essay Award.
All three essays in the ranking display an in-depth study into the respective topic that exceeds expectations. We are proud of the students’ commitment and passion that culminated in
these excellent papers.
We would like to acknowledge the three students as well as their teachers, who supported the students in their extensive research process.
