Swiss Learning was founded in 2006 by a group of Swiss boarding school owners. Its mission is to present secondary, university and professional establishments that can guarantee the Excellence of Swiss Education. Swiss Learning also works on maintaining the link between the alumni students and Switzerland.
Switzerland welcomes students into a multicultural environment and a world of respect and understanding. Each student contributes through his or her own language, culture and religion to making the institutions part of a "global village". Swiss Learning unites all the possible elements to prepare each alumnus to become a world citizen.
Choosing a boarding school or university in Switzerland for oneself or their children is not an easy task. Swiss Learning is here to help parents or students make the right choice when it comes to selecting a Swiss boarding school or university. The outstanding team is at their service to help identify what their personal needs are and to find the best fit for them.
The 11 high schools endorsed by the Swiss Learning project all meet strict criteria. A key requirement is the ability to demonstrate a long tradition of educational excellence with at least 50 years experience in providing education and boarding facilities. The establishment must be accredited by the relevant authorities.
