| Finding a School
|
To find a place for your child at school, whether at nursery school (pre-school)
or in the compulsory primary or secondary level I schooling system, you should
preferably contact the local authority of your municipality or apply to the
relevant school direct. In the latter case, you should if possible take with you
a residence permit and a health insurance certificate for your child. Where
children do not speak the language of your canton of residence, it is best to
enrol them in an integration class, to improve their language skills before they
join the standard educational system (for more information, see the Swiss
education information platform EDUCA).
Useful information on tertiary education (university-level schools and
universities) is available on the website of the Rectors’ Conference
of the Swiss Universities (CRUS). Admission criteria for tertiary
education in Switzerland are very strict and university studies are generally
quite expensive. Grants are sometimes available. Relevant information can be
obtained from the Federal Commission for Foreign Student Grants (+41 (0)31 323
26 76).
Children can also be enrolled at an international school or a private school.
For the former, you can contact your diplomatic representation in Switzerland.
For the latter, we advise you to visit the website of the Swiss Federation of
Private Schools.
