FAQ

When should families start the school application process in Switzerland?

Ideally 6-12 months, if possible before the intended start date. Some year groups fill quickly, particularly in international and boarding schools, so early planning is essential.

Do you work with both day and boarding schools?

Yes. I support families exploring international day schools, bilingual schools and boarding options across Switzerland, depending on what best suits the child and family circumstances.

Are you independent?

I provide independent, objective guidance tailored to each family.
While I collaborate with a select network of trusted schools and may receive a commission in some cases, my role is to guide you towards the right fit not a specific school.
Your child’s needs and long-term goals always come first.
