What are the schools in Switzerland like?
When we asked about the schools in Switzerland, they said...
"The International School of Geneva (Ecolint) is one of the best international schools in Switzerland. Founded in 1924, it serves students from over 90 nationalities, from kindergarten to pre-university. Its curriculum is based on the principles of the International Baccalaureate, and provides education in English and French. The school also offers an extensive extra-curricular program, including music and the arts. Le Collège du Léman International School is an international school located in Geneva, Switzerland. It has students from over 65 countries and offers both English and French-language tracks. The school curriculum is based on the International Baccalaureate, as well as Geneva's local State curriculum. The Bilingual School of Geneva provides an education in both English and French in the Canton of Geneva. It is a unique educational centre which focuses on both foreign language teaching and subject-area teaching. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten to high school, and provides integrated subject-focused learning in both languages. The American School in Switzerland (TASIS) is an international school in the village of Montagnola in the Swiss canton of Ticino. The school offers a US-accredited curriculum, as well as a British-influenced program. Students can choose from a range of language-learning options, including English, French and Spanish. TASIS focuses on personal and academic growth and provides its students with an international perspective," remarked one expat living in with children attending .
"To contact the school to arrange to visit and let them show you and your child around -- and to maintain contact with them before, during and after the move. My oldest is attending the University of Georgia in the Fall and was accepted to almost all the schools she applied too. The academics in this school have really prepared her for college. I'm sure this would not have happened had she stayed in the public schools in America," said one expat in Kilchberg with children at Zurich International School.
