Boarding Schools & Private Education

Switzerland is home to some of the world's most respected private boarding schools — institutions with long histories of educating the children of international families, diplomats, and private individuals. The Swiss educational landscape spans French-speaking, German-speaking, and bilingual institutions, each with distinct academic cultures and admission processes.

Montreux Real Estate facilitates introductions to a selected group of Swiss boarding schools and private day schools. We work with institutions we know personally — not simply those with the highest profiles. Our introductions are made on the basis of fit, not ranking.

Navigating the Swiss private school system from abroad can be complex. Admission timelines, language requirements, cantonal regulations, and boarding arrangements vary significantly between institutions. We guide families through this process — providing context, facilitating introductions, and coordinating with schools on the family's behalf.

We work with families from the Middle East, Asia, Russia, the United Kingdom, and other international markets who are relocating to Switzerland or seeking a Swiss education for their children from abroad.

For older students, we facilitate introductions to selected Swiss universities, business schools, and specialist institutions. Switzerland's higher education sector includes internationally recognised institutions in business, hospitality, and the arts.

We provide guidance on the landscape and facilitate introductions to the relevant admissions contacts — acting as a private intermediary with established relationships across the sector.
