what i do

Independent Boarding School Placement in Switzerland

I work exclusively on behalf of families — not schools. That independence means the guidance you receive is based entirely on what's right for your child, not on commission arrangements or school partnerships.

With over 10 years of experience inside Swiss international school admissions, I know how schools operate, how admissions decisions are made, and what the brochures don't tell you.

Whether you're relocating to Switzerland, considering boarding from abroad, or simply trying to understand your options, I'll help you make the right decision — before you commit.

What's Included

1. Initial family consultation

We start by understanding your child — their personality, learning style, academic profile, and what kind of environment they'll thrive in.

2. School shortlisting

Based on your child's profile and your family's priorities, I identify the schools most likely to be the right fit across regions, curricula, and boarding models.

3. Honest school comparisons

I give you the real picture on each school — culture, pastoral care, academic expectations, weekend structure, and what current families experience on the ground.

4. Application strategy and timing

Swiss boarding schools fill places 9–12 months in advance. I help you position your child's application effectively.

5. Ongoing support through the process

From first enquiry to acceptance, I stay alongside you — answering questions and helping you navigate next steps.

5. Post acceptance support

Once your child is accepted, I help you navigate the enrollment paperwork, understand what to expect, and prepare your child for the transition.
