Welcome Letter to Students
International Academy in Switzerland
Academic Year 2025–2026
Dear Students,
It is with great joy and pride that we welcome you to the International Academy in Switzerland, where your academic journey is about to begin—or continue—within a global network of excellence, innovation, and opportunity.
Since welcoming our first online cohort in 2013, we have proudly celebrated the graduation of thousands of students from around the world. Now, in 2025, we stand at the forefront of international education as part of the Swiss International University (SIU) in Bishkek—a state-accredited institution recognized under the Lisbon Recognition Convention. SIU’s expanding global network includes a state-regulated vocational institute in Dubai, enhancing our international footprint and institutional credibility. In addition, SIU operates a Business School in Lucerne, allowed by the local Board of Education and Culture to deliver academic programs and issue its diplomas, further solidifying our commitment to recognized, high-quality education across multiple regions. While we collaborate closely within this global educational ecosystem, we remain an academically and administratively independent institution.
Through this strategic partnership, we have joined a broader academic family with campuses in Lucerne, Bishkek, Dubai, Osh, and more—uniting over 3,800 students who share a commitment to excellence, diversity, and global progress.
A Historic Transformation
This year marks a pivotal moment in our history: the official renaming of our institution to the International Academy in Switzerland, effective from 2025. This change is more than just a new name—it symbolizes the high standards we uphold and the transformative growth we continue to pursue.
Our Path to Excellence
Over the past year, we have successfully secured several prestigious accreditations, reaffirming the quality, credibility, and recognition of our programs:
-
✅ 5-Star Rated Academy by QS TopUniversities – A globally respected benchmark of quality in higher education.
-
✅Institutional Accreditation by BSKG, recognized by the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU)
-
✅EDU Accreditation, an Intergovernmental Organization developed by the Ministry of Education in Palau, in affiliation with UNESCO
-
✅Programmatic Accreditation by ECLBS – European Council of Leading Business Schools, supported by 10 national accreditation bodies across Europe
-
✅ASIC Accreditation (UK), recognized by the UK Government
-
✅ARIA Accreditation, one of the most reputable bodies in the world

and more... the full list here
These recognitions are more than formalities—they are a reflection of our academic integrity, institutional rigor, and international reputation.
Our Commitment to You
Since our foundation, we have gone through various phases of growth, each guided by visionary leadership. Over the past four years, under my direction, we have made a strategic shift to focus solely on quality—even when it required us to limit enrollments or redirect resources. We firmly believe that investing in quality is the only sustainable path to educational excellence.
As we move forward with our rebranding and expansion, we remain fully committed to you—our students. You are the heart of this institution. Our mission is to support your academic, personal, and professional development so you can contribute meaningfully to your communities and industries around the globe.
We encourage you to seize this opportunity: engage with your professors, participate actively in your courses, and never hesitate to ask questions or seek support. You are not simply joining a school—you are joining a global legacy.
Once again, welcome to the International Academy in Switzerland.
With warm regards and sincere wishes for your success,
