Education information
What sets Swiss schools apart? Why do parents hold primary and secondary education in Switzerland in such high regard?
Before deciding to send a child to study abroad, there are several concerns to address, and Switzerland provides reassurance on many fronts. The top concern for most parents is safety: they want to ensure their child will be in a nurturing and secure environment while away from home. Switzerland is one of the safest countries globally, and this factor is often a decisive one for parents.
Beyond the safety, we boast breathtaking natural beauty, picturesque views, and a long-standing tradition of excellence in education, particularly in our boarding schools, where high educational standards are consistently upheld.
Switzerland is also known for its multiculturalism and tolerance, with a range of national languages spoken here. It hosts the headquarters and offices of major organizations like the Olympic Committee, the UN, WHO, and UEFA. Known historically as Helvetia, Switzerland's central location in Europe allows our students to easily visit places like Paris, Milan, and London during weekends and holidays. Essentially, every aspect of education here is synonymous with the phrase "Swiss quality".
