Through this face to face exchange with representatives, parents gained access to firsthand information about school applications, visits, camps, overseas life and more.

Overview of Swiss Learning

Swiss Learning was founded by a group of Swiss boarding school owners in Geneva in 2006, with offices in Tokyo, Shanghai, Mumbai and Mexico City. Its mission is to present the excellence of Swiss education to the world and help Chinese students to attend leading Swiss boarding schools and camps. Swiss Learning also works on maintaining the link between the alumni students and Switzerland.

Swiss Learning is the only organization allowing for Chinese students to take official written exams and interviews with Swiss boarding schools. For those who cannot make it to the exams or interviews in the schools, they may use the Swiss Learning Shanghai Office as the venue. AS partner of Swiss Learning, SCC may also arrange exam venues in other cities.
