All we had to do prior to our relocation was to offer our consultant some basic information about our family, our needs, and our expectations. Ursula, our relocation consultant, brought clarity and focus to our priorities in the move.
She managed to find a great school for our daughter within walking distance of a nice apartment, located in an international area where many residents spoke regular German (not Swiss German - you’ll see, there's a tremendous difference). We enrolled my daughter in public school and thanks to this, we got to know our new community. We opted for a public school on the advice of our consultant, who told us that it was the best way to speed up our integration. As expected, she was 100% right.
More importantly, my daughter felt safe walking to school (as is the custom in Switzerland) and we got to spend more time together as a family when she came home each day for lunch. The public school was great – they received my daughter with open arms and involved her in various activities from the first minute. The school principal got the kids really excited about my daughter’s first day and she felt very welcome.
