At Edu Gap Solutions, I help international families choose the right school the first time through independent, personalised guidance across Switzerland.
I take the time to understand your child’s needs, personality, and academic goals to match them with schools where they will truly thrive- not just fit in.
Whether you are moving to Switzerland or considering a school change, I provide clear, structured guidance so you can make confident decisions without the overwhelm.
From international and bilingual day schools to leading boarding schools and camps in Leysin and Verbier, I help you navigate the options across Lausanne, Geneva and the Swiss Riviera.
I’m Nathalie Nicolet, founder of EDU Gap Solutions and an independent school placement consultant based in Switzerland.
Choosing the right school can feel overwhelming especially when relocating or navigating a new education system.
With over 10 years of experience in Swiss international school admissions, I support expat and local families in finding the right fit not just academically, but socially and emotionally.
Born and raised in Australia to Swiss parents, I combine global perspective with local insight to guide families through what can feel like a complex and high stakes decision.
My approach is both strategic and personal ensuring the school truly fits your child, your values, and your long-term goals.
✔ Based in Switzerland
✔ Supporting expat & relocating families
✔ Independent advice (no school bias)
We start with a consultation to understand your child and your priorities.
I create a tailored shortlist of schools that truly fit your child and families needs.
I guide you through visits, applications, and final decisions.
English-speaking and IB schools across Geneva, Lausanne and surrounding areas, within my network of carefully selected schools, chosen to match your child’s academic level, language background and long-term goals.
French-English programmes within my network of carefully selected schools, supporting a smooth transition into the Swiss system and offering both integration and international flexibility.
A curated selection of Swiss boarding schools in Lausanne, the Riviera, Leysin and Verbier, within my trusted network, offering strong academics, structure and pastoral care.
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.
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.
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.
