PRIVATE SCHOOLS
Switzerland is one of the countries that can display itself with many exclusive and prestigious private day- and boarding schools (privatschulen, écoles privées). Swiss expat families and students from all over the world are eager to attend prestigious Swiss boarding and day schools - provided that they can get a scholarship and have the finances to be admitted. The numerous private schools that operate in Switzerland varies in price, offers and quality - but choosing a private solution will always cost you more than a free state-school.
When that is said there are advantages choosing a private day- or boarding school: the schools offer a more multicultural approach to many of its subjects, the classes are smaller – stimulating a better learning environment, the rules may be less rigid and many private schools offers bilingual classes in English/French or English/German.
How private school works and their philosophy / concept, reasons to attend private school or reasons not to, are topics that Mamizeit would like to give our readers more insight on. Letting our readers get first hand knowledge through articles from people who either work, run or have been students in a private school will hopefully give a better understanding on the principles and educational goals of these private institutions.
