For successful enrollment in a private school in Switzerland, you must provide:
- Passport
- report card for the last 2 years of school
- results of the language exam at level B1-B2 – English, French, German or Italian (depends on the school and canton (region))
- letters of recommendation from the school principal and teachers of mathematics and foreign language
- insurance
- registration forms.
It is necessary to take into account the basic knowledge of the second language, which will serve as an additional advantage, the overall performance at school and the psychological readiness of the child to live outside the home.
Preparation for admission to a private boarding school should begin in 1-2 years. This is due to the fact that in Switzerland foreign students are allocated a quota of only 10% for each country, thanks to which an ideal multicultural environment is achieved, it is easier for children to master the unusual educational process and the situation as a whole. Such a time gap will also help to take a guaranteed place, because in boarding schools on average up to 500 people study, although the number of schools themselves is more than 200. This time is best used for additional preparation, intensive language learning and collection of documents.
