What parents say 

"Nathalie was such a huge help to us when we were preparing our move from the U.S. to Switzerland and trying to figure out schools for our two girls. I honestly don’t know how we would have found the right school without her.
She really took the time to understand our family, what we were looking for and what would work best for our daughters, and then helped us navigate all the different options. She was always so responsive, patient with all my questions and incredibly helpful throughout the whole process.
We ended up finding a school we’re really happy with, and now that the girls have started, I’m even more grateful for all of her help. I would absolutely recommend Nathalie to any family moving to Switzerland and feeling a little lost when it comes to schools".

How I help Families

Whether you're relocating, exploring boarding, or simply overwhelmed by the options — this is what working with me looks like

International & Bilingual School Placement

I help families identify the right school based on their child's age, language profile, curriculum needs and personality — not just what's most well-known.

Swiss Boarding School Placement

Expert, independent guidance on Switzerland's leading boarding schools — comparing academic programmes, pastoral care, student life and admissions pathways.

School Admissions Support

From application to first day — I guide families through the paperwork, timelines and school communication so nothing falls through the cracks.

About Nathalie Nicolet


I'm Nathalie Nicolet — a Switzerland-based education consultant and former international school admissions professional with over 10 years of experience. As a bilingual French-English consultant, I help families navigate the Swiss international school system in the language they're most comfortable in.

I've worked inside the admissions process. That means I understand how schools really operate  how places are allocated, what schools are actually looking for, and why some families secure a place while others miss out.

My approach is practical, honest and always tailored to your family — not to the most well-known school or the easiest option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. While earlier planning is always preferable, I regularly assist families who need urgent placements due to relocations, job transfers, or unexpected changes.

Public schools are free and taught primarily in French or German depending on the canton. Private bilingual schools combine local and international approaches, while international schools often offer English-language curricula such as the IB, British, or American systems.

Not automatically — it depends on the type of support you choose, not just the school. If I manage your full admissions process from initial consultation through to enrolment at a partner school, my support is free, as I'm remunerated by the school directly.

However, if you choose an individual service  such as a Shortlist Report, an Additional School Assessment, or Application Guidance that service is charged according to my Price Book, even if a partner school ends up being the right fit. The fee reflects the specific work completed, not an introduction to the school.

I'll always confirm which applies to your situation before any paid work begins.

In many cases, no. When I'm engaged to manage your full admissions journey — from initial consultation through to enrolment — at one of my partner schools, my support is provided at no cost to your family, as I am remunerated by the school.

If you choose an individual service instead, such as a Shortlist Report or Application Guidance, fees apply as set out in my Service Book, regardless of which school is involved — including partner schools. All fees are discussed with you upfront before you decide how you would like to proceed.

Yes. While earlier planning is always preferable, I regularly assist families who need urgent placements due to relocations, job transfers, or unexpected changes.
