School & University Placement in Zurich
Education & Placement in Zurich
Zurich is the centre of Swiss private banking and the most discreet money in Europe. Its economy runs on private banking, insurance, commodities trading and watchmaking, and the members we look after here are typically families with Swiss banking relationships going back decades.
The school or university is chosen for the child first, and the application is built around that choice. We shortlist with advisers who know the institutions, arrange visits and assessments, hold the deadlines, and set up guardianship and accommodation once a place is confirmed.
Admissions here run well over a year ahead, so the calendar is set before anything else. Practically, an international airport with an established general aviation presence, and discretion here is a professional standard rather than a preference.
Held locally
How this works in Zurich.
- Requests from Zurich reach a named relationship manager rather than a queue, and the same person stays with the request until it is closed.
- Admission is decided by the institution. We never promise a place.
- Where something cannot be arranged in Zurich on the terms you have asked for, you are told that plainly and early rather than late.
Questions, answered once
Education & Placement in Zurich, without the theatre.
Which schools and universities do families from Zurich usually consider?
That depends on what is genuinely open at the time, and it moves. Your relationship manager in Zurich will tell you what is actually available rather than what sounds best.
How far ahead should a boarding school application be started?
It depends on the request and the season. Your relationship manager gives you a realistic timeframe when you ask, and says early if it is not achievable rather than late.
Can you arrange guardianship while my child studies abroad?
We shortlist with advisers who know the institutions, arrange visits and assessments, hold the deadlines, and set up guardianship and accommodation once a place is confirmed. Admission is decided by the institution. We never promise a place.
Is the application kept private from other families?
Discretion is the default. Nothing about the arrangement is shared beyond the people carrying it out, and nothing is disclosed to a counterparty without your instruction.
What do you need from us to begin?
Usually one conversation. Your relationship manager will tell you exactly what your particular request needs, and will not ask for more than that.
