International, Day & Boarding School Placement Services in Switzerland

EDU Gap Solutions provides personalised international, day and boarding school placement services in Switzerland. I support expat and relocating families navigating admissions to international, bilingual and Swiss boarding schools across Geneva, Lausanne, Montreux, Leysin, Verbier and the wider Swiss Riviera.

Step-by-Step Admissions Support

My school placement support is completely free for families when applying to schools within my trusted partner network, as I am remunerated directly by those institutions.

If a family wishes to apply to schools outside of my partner network, I am still very happy to assist, and in those cases a consultation or advisory fee may apply depending on the level of support required.

The goal is always the same: helping you find the right school fit for your child, while ensuring the process feels clear, structured and reassuring.

Dedicated Family Guidance

Personalised support tailored to your child’s profile, your family’s priorities and your relocation timeline.

Access to a Trusted School Network

Benefit from my carefully curated network of leading international, bilingual and Swiss boarding schools across Geneva, Lausanne, Montreux and the Alpine regions.

Through close relationships and first-hand knowledge, I guide you towards the right school for your child with clarity, confidence and a personalised approach.

Supporting Your Family at Every Stage

Step 1. Initial Consultation

We begin with a personalised consultation (in person or via video call) to understand your child’s profile, educational background and your family’s priorities.

Step 2. Tailored School Shortlist

Based on your family’s priorities, I create a strategic shortlist of day or boarding schools from my trusted network of leading international institutions across Geneva, Lausanne, Montreux and the Alpine regions.

Step 3. School Visit Coordination

I assist in organising visits and meetings with admissions teams, so you can get a true feel for each school environment.

Step 4. Guidance in Decision-Making

Together, we review your impressions, priorities and feedback from school visits to ensure you make a confident and well-informed decision.

Step 5. Offer Review & Final Selection

Once school offers are received, I guide you in evaluating each option and finalising the best choice for your child. I remain available to support communication with the chosen school as preparations begin for arrival and your child’s first day.

Step 6. Ongoing Support 

I remain available to support your family through transition and stay in contact with the school to ensure a smooth start.

Your Questions Answered 

Edu Gap Solutions specialises exclusively in international, bilingual and boarding school admissions in Switzerland. With over 10 years of experience, I provide personalised, strategic guidance tailored to your child’s academic profile, personality and long-term goals. Families benefit from one trusted point of contact and a structured, stress-free admissions process.

I guide you through every stage of the admissions process from creating a thoughtful shortlist to communicating with schools, preparing for interviews and reviewing offers. My role is to simplify what can feel overwhelming and ensure you feel informed, organised and confident at each step.

Every child is unique, and transparency is essential in the admissions process.

Some schools in Switzerland have structured learning support departments, while others have more limited resources. Part of my role is to assess your child’s needs carefully and guide you toward schools that are both academically appropriate and genuinely able to provide the right support.

While an offer can never be guaranteed, a thoughtful and strategic approach significantly increases the likelihood of finding a school where your child can thrive academically, socially and emotionally.

All conversations are handled with discretion and professionalism.

I work closely with a selected network of trusted partner schools in Switzerland. However, my recommendations are based on your child’s needs first. If a non-partner school is a better fit, we can discuss options transparently.

The timeline depends on your child’s profile and the availability of places at your chosen schools.

In many cases, once we begin the process, interviews and assessments can be arranged within 2–4 weeks, provided documentation is ready.

For popular year groups or boarding schools, I recommend starting 6-12 months in advance to secure the best options.

For most partner schools, my placement support is complimentary for families as I am remunerated by the school.

This allows you to benefit from personalised, expert guidance without additional consultancy fees, while staying fully focused on finding the right fit for your child.

If you choose a school outside my partner network or require standalone application support, a transparent service fee may apply, which I always discuss clearly in advance.

Choosing the right school goes far beyond brochures and rankings. I guide you in evaluating academic fit, language environment, pastoral care, class size, culture and long-term pathways — always considering your child’s personality.

Whenever possible, I coordinate in-person visits so you can experience the atmosphere firsthand. If travel isn’t feasible, we arrange virtual meetings and structured follow-ups to ensure you feel confident in your decision.

Together, we review your impressions and align them with your family’s priorities before finalising your choice.

That’s absolutely fine. There is no obligation to enrol with any school following our consultation process.

My role is to provide clarity and structured guidance so you can make the right decision for your family whether that means enrolling now, delaying your move, or exploring alternative options.

You remain fully in control throughout the process.

No problem at all. Many international and bilingual schools operate in English, and I communicate fluently in both English and French.

I liaise directly with schools on your behalf, translate key information where needed, and ensure you fully understand each step of the process so language is never a barrier.

Most private and international schools offer sibling discounts, particularly for day students and sometimes for boarding as well. The structure and percentage vary by school.

As part of my service, I request detailed fee breakdowns and confirm any available sibling reductions in advance so you have full financial clarity before making a decision.

Many international schools in Switzerland offer dedicated EAL (English as an Additional Language) or FAL (French as an Additional Language) support to help students transition smoothly.

As part of my guidance, I assess the level of language support each school provides and ensure it aligns with your child’s needs before any application is submitted. Where additional language support involves extra costs, I make this clear from the outset.

Yes. While I collaborate with a trusted network of partner schools, my priority is always finding the right fit for your child.

If you have a specific school in mind, I’m happy to support you through the process. In cases where a school is not part of my partner network, I will outline how support works so you have full transparency from the start.
