Going Local is an authoritative guide for parents
who wish to gain a better understanding of the Swiss
school system. It maps out all the stages of schooling from kindergarten to university in all 26 cantons,
providing key facts and useful terminology in German, French, and Italian.
Going Local unravels how children advance
through the school system and lists the different selection criteria around the country for the academic
path. It also clearly explains the range of options and
alternative paths that lead to tertiary education. It
highlights issues parents may need to address in order to help their children reach their full educational
potential. Tips are given to help parents manage
their relationship with the school, drawing on the
expertise of professionals and the experiences and insights of other
parents, both from Switzerland and abroad.

At what age should you move your child to a Swiss public school? What kind of integration
programmes and extra language lessons are usually available? What about homework and extra
tuition? What is HarmoS all about? You’ll find answers to all these questions and a lot more.
Every English-speaking parent here should read this book. There is so
much useful information and invaluable advice in it that you cannot find
anywhere else. It gave me a much better sense of the wide range of educational
opportunities available to my children.

A fascinating compilation of the quirky and curious from bestselling author Diccon Bewes.
Fact lovers will enjoy this treasure-trove of serious and not-so-serious facts and figures about
Switzerland – a collection of lists that will amuse and enlighten you with things you never dreamed
you’d enjoy knowing. You can learn how to play Hornussen, be able to sing along to the Swiss
National Anthem and understand what the Geneva Conventions stand for.
You’ll discover the special significance of number eleven in Solothurn, why a clock in Lucerne
always chimes one minute before the others or where to find all the UNESCO Heritage sites in
Switzerland. This lovely book is charmingly illustrated by Mischa Kammermann.
