Understanding Swiss Education Challenges
Switzerland's education system is highly decentralized, with each canton managing its own schools and curriculum. This creates unique challenges for international families:
Canton-Specific Systems
Each canton has different school structures, curricula, and enrollment procedures, making it difficult to understand requirements.
Language Barriers
School communications and documentation are typically in the local language (German, French, or Italian).
Curriculum Differences
Swiss schools follow different curricula than international systems, creating academic transition challenges.
Timing Constraints
School enrollment has strict deadlines and waiting lists, especially for popular international schools.
