We had a goal to send our daughter to study in another country for one year in order to broaden her horizons, improve her English and German, and give her the opportunity to show her independence. We chose between Great Britain and Switzerland, in the end we chose the latter, as Switzerland is famous not only for the quality of education, but also for its stability and safety.
We turned to Swissedu+ because this company is located in Zurich, which means that our daughter will have "own" people in Switzerland and support, even if the borders are closed again, and she will not be able to return home for the vacations. We did not make a mistake with the choice of the agency!
In February 2020 we had time to visit the school on a tour. Natalia organized this meeting for us and was with us throughout the entire study tour. We liked the school right away and it met all our criteria: it is international, has great infrastructure, and is taught in English and German in the German part of the country. In the end, we didn't even go to see the other options selected by Swissedu+.
Then there was the stage of paperwork. We communicated with the school through Swissedu+. It was quick, comfortable, easy.
When all the documents were submitted, the entrance exams were passed, and the tuition was paid, we were worried only about one thing - the borders were still closed (Note: summer 2020).
Fortunately, since August air travel resumed and Daria flew to Switzerland on the first flight. She had a ticket from Moscow-Zurich, but because of the pandemic this flight was changed to Moscow-Geneva, which complicated the transfer to school: Daria had to cross the entire country on her own to get to Schaffhausen. Swissedu+ immediately offered to meet Dasha at the airport in Geneva and bring her to school on the other side of Switzerland that same day. We are very grateful to Natalia for this initiative, otherwise I probably would not have dared to send my 15-year-old daughter on such a difficult journey in an unfamiliar place.
Our friendship with Swissedu+ continues to this day. Whenever we or our daughter have a question or need help or advice, we immediately write to Natalia.
Because of our inability to travel we have not yet been able to visit our daughter in Switzerland, but even in these conditions I feel safe for her. I trust Swissedu+ and know that I can always count on their support.
I heartily recommend Swissedu+! With them you can safely send your children to study abroad, even if the borders are closed =)
