Good to Know Before Applying

There Is No One "Best" Swiss Boarding School

The best school is the one that fits your child's personality, learning style, interests, and future goals. What works brilliantly for one student may not be the right environment for another.

Curricula Matters

Swiss boarding schools offer a wide range of pathways, including the IB Diploma, A Levels, APs, American High School Diploma, Swiss Matura, and French Baccalaureate. Your child's ambitions should help guide the choice.

Language Requirements Vary

Many Swiss boarding schools teach in English, while others offer bilingual or multilingual programs. Some schools provide language support, but entry requirements differ from school to school.

Age and Entry Points + Boarding School Readiness

While many schools welcome students from age 11+, the most common entry points are for secondary school. There are also programs for children age 4+. Remember, successful candidates are not necessarily the strongest academically. Independence, resilience, curiosity, and a willingness to engage with a diverse international community are important.

Costs Extend Beyond Tuition

Boarding school fees in Switzerland typically range from CHF 70,000 to CHF 170,000+ per year. Families should also consider registration fees, trips, uniforms, activities, travel expenses, pocket money and other additional expenses above school fees.

Start Earlier Than You Think

Many of the most sought-after schools have competitive admissions processes and limited places. We typically recommend beginning your search 12-18 months before your preferred start date.
