Choosing the right school
Our Year 9 children and their parents are currently involved In the process of choosing their next school for when they leave La Garenne at the end of this academic year. Choosing a senior school can be a difficult decision given the wide variety of options available. It is important to take into consideration many factors including the size of the school, whether it is a boarding or day school and whether it is single sex or co-educational. The choice is very wide and the process can be very confusing, for both the students and their parents.
Help is at hand, as here at La Garenne we work closely with the parents to advise and guide them in the difficult task of choosing the right school for their child. We have many years of experience working with Swiss schools and also with a wide range of international schools throughout the world. We have an excellent record in placing our students in their first-choice school.
Our partnership arrangements with five leading Swiss schools have greatly facilitated the placement of La Garenne students in these prestigious establishments. Our partner schools are
We organize visits and interviews at these schools and liaise closely with them with regard to their entry requirements. On the day of the interview, we accompany the students to the school to ensure that the application process runs as smoothly as possible.
While the partnership arrangements do not guarantee entry for our students, these schools have confidence in the quality of our school reports and other application documents. Therefore under normal circumstances, students are not required to take entrance tests.
