Education in Switzerland

The mission statement of Education in Switzerland is to give a dynamic image of the private educational possibilities available in Switzerland.

The environment to success
With its four languages, varied cultures, beautiful landscapes and peaceful political environment, Switzerland is not only a prime destination for tourism but also plays a leading role in the international education field. For over a century, Swiss private schools – offering individualized, innovative and high-standard educational opportunities – have been one of the top-quality products of Switzerland.

The schools running the Education in Switzerland include some of the most famous and oldest in the country. The main concern of the organization is the furtherance of the quality of the schools which belong to it. In Switzerland about 100,000 pupils, students and apprentices, from a wide variety of regions within our country and from over one hundred other countries, are educated in private schools.

Swiss boarding schools benefit from an excellent, internationally recognized education.

In addition, Switzerland is proud to have some of the best private hotel schools and private universities located in the country. Summer camps, language courses and a large choice of other educational offers complete the “menu” of Swiss private education.

The schools which are currently united under the name of Education in Switzerland have now set up a partnership with Switzerland Tourism with the aim of upholding its main purpose, which is educational counselling and promotion of private schools in Switzerland.
