How We Help You Find the Right Swiss School for Your Child

At Swiss School Consulting, we’re here to help you find the right Swiss school for your child.
Every student deserves a learning environment that fosters academic success, personal growth, and long-term well-being. That’s why our approach is fully personalised — based on your child’s unique profile and your family’s values and goals.

After selecting one of our two service models — the Exclusive Free Support or the Fixed-Fee Consultation — the next step is to collect essential information. This enables us to offer targeted advice that truly fits your child’s needs.

Why Personalisation Matters to Find the Right Swiss School

Switzerland is home to many of the world’s most prestigious boarding and private day schools. Whether you’re considering the IB, A-Levels, the Swiss Maturity, or bilingual programmes, the options are diverse — but not every school suits every child.

Instead of relying on school rankings, we focus on fit: academic style, personality, location, and your family’s long-term vision. That’s how we help you find the right Swiss school for your child, not just any school.

What We Need to Guide You Effectively

To give meaningful advice, we start with a clear picture of your child and your expectations. This can be shared via email or in a video call.

With this information, we build a tailored shortlist of schools that match your child’s academic background, language abilities, and future goals.

Understanding Your Child’s Academic and Language Profile

We begin with your child’s school and language background:

  • Full name and date of birth

  • Current school and grade

  • Latest academic reports

  • Languages spoken at home and in class

  • Native language(s)

  • Level in English, French, or German

These details are essential to find the right Swiss school for your child at the right academic level.

Clarifying Your Goals as Parents

We take time to understand your family’s educational priorities:

  • Preferred region (Geneva, Zurich, Lausanne, Valais, Ticino, etc.)

  • School setting: urban, countryside, mountain, or lakeside

  • Preferred language region: French, German, or Italian

  • Importance of learning new languages

  • Boarding or day school preference

  • Target diploma: IB, A-Levels, Swiss Maturity, or US High School

  • University aspirations (UK, US, CH…)

This helps us filter and refine our recommendations to align with what truly matters to you.

Your Child’s Personality and Interests

Swiss schools take a holistic view of students, not just academics. That’s why we ask about:

  • Hobbies and personal interests

  • Personality (introvert, extrovert, academic, creative…)

  • Extracurricular activities

  • Any special learning or emotional needs

This helps us find the right Swiss school for your child — one where they will thrive.

Practical Details and Timeline

We also collect practical information:

  • Desired start date

  • Availability for school visits or video meetings

  • Any logistical constraints (travel, visas, timing…)

With these elements, we build a realistic, step-by-step plan

Our 4-Step Process to Help You Find the Right Swiss School

Once we have your information, we follow a structured process:

  1. Tailored School Shortlist
    We identify 3–4 schools that best fit your child’s profile.

  2. Introductions to Admissions Directors
    We directly present your child’s profile to the relevant schools.

  3. Organising Visits or Calls
    We arrange video meetings or on-site visits so you can engage with each school.

  4. Ongoing Support Until Enrollment
    We remain available for help with applications, interviews, and next steps.

 

Our Independent and Personalised Approach

Swiss School Consulting works independently from all schools. That means we are free to recommend only what’s best for your child. We don’t push schools — we support families.

Our service is based on trust, discretion, and a deep knowledge of Swiss private education.
