Find the right Swiss school for your child

With more than 30 years of experience in Swiss private education, including the leadership of several Swiss private schools and school groups, I have had the privilege of accompanying hundreds of students and families. This accumulated experience has shaped a precise advisory methodology, designed to bring clarity, structure and peace of mind when choosing a Swiss school. Moreover, you can verify my professional background directly via LinkedIn:

Choosing the right boarding school or day school in Switzerland is not simply an administrative procedure. It is a strategic life decision.Swiss School Consulting supports international families with a tailored and highly personalised approach — because every child is unique, and therefore the school context must fit the child, not the opposite. As a result, our mission is to help you Find the right Swiss school for your child — not just a Swiss school.

In addition, we are currently advising families from Dubai, Madrid, Istanbul, Brazil and Turkey, which gives us a genuine international view of expectations, priorities, cultural benchmarks and academic ambitions. Consequently, this field experience allows us to rapidly align a family’s objectives with realistic and meaningful solutions in Switzerland.

Swiss School Consulting — Independent and exclusively client-focused

Swiss School Consulting is not tied to any school group. Therefore, our recommendations are neutral, ethical and confidential. Our objective is to help you Find the right Swiss school for your child, taking into account academic profile, language journey, personality, maturity level, ambitions and family expectations.

Furthermore, thanks to decades of familiarity with the Swiss private school landscape, we can accelerate the process and avoid common mistakes. We also position your child in the correct programme pathway (IB / A-Level / Swiss Maturité / French Baccalaureate / American curriculum) — without confusion and without losing time.

From the first briefing to the acceptance letter

Our methodology is structured, efficient and internationally proven:

• first academic and personal briefing
• academic diagnostics and programme mapping
• identification of a shortlist of matching Swiss schools
• introductions and application strategy
• optional organisation of campus visits

Throughout the entire process, the purpose remains unchanged: consistently Find the right Swiss school for your child, based on facts — not assumptions.

High School Diploma studies in Switzerland

Switzerland offers a broad choice of recognised academic pathways at upper secondary level — including the International Baccalaureate, A-Level programmes, the Swiss Maturité, the French Baccalaureate and American-style High School Diploma routes. Each pathway leads to different university access horizons and requires a careful match between the student’s language profile, academic rhythm and long-term ambitions. Swiss School Consulting can also advise specifically on the suitability of a High School Diploma track in Switzerland — to ensure that the programme chosen remains coherent, achievable and future-proof.

Summer courses in Switzerland

Summer courses in Switzerland also represent an excellent entry point. From 2 weeks onwards, a summer programme can help a student discover the Swiss academic environment and progress in English or French. This allows them to test the match before considering a full academic year. Swiss School Consulting can also guide your family in the selection of the most suitable Swiss summer camp — aligned with personality, age, objectives and academic potential.
