Many international families living in Switzerland decide to apply to a private school here or abroad, either as a boarder or a day student. This often requires the student sit a school entrance exam. Each country will vary but the majority of our students are headed to the UK or US and will sit either the
11+, 13+, ISEE or SSAT exam.

It is important that students from an international school background prepare thoroughly to ensure they have covered the topics and style of education of the school they wish to attend.
