Hi Melanie

I don't yet have children in school over here,but a good website with lots of information would be www.xpatxchange.ch
Also a parenting magazine which we subscribe to is the 'New Stork Times". I found this to be a valuable source of information while I was pregnant here. With info on day care centres,schools etc.. The website is www.thenewstorktimes.com

Hope this helps
Nik

Hi melanie you are correct about the ages that children start local school here. The only decent way for kids to learn Swiss German is through the local schools, but all bilingual and international schools teach High German with varying degrees of intensity, plus they are full day schools with younger intakes. Zurich, Zug and Luzern all have good choices for international or bilingual education. Check out www.readysteadyrelocate.com for our expat family seminars in Zurich and Luzern/Zug. regards Helen

There is a school that teach parents to speak and read German. It is an international school. Though they emphasize teaching in English, yet they understand Swiss German is an imperative language.
