In this episode, I explain the Swiss education system (focus on Canton of Zurich) from kindergarten to university, including grading, secondary school options and academic paths. I also share my personal experience — growing up in the Swiss system and now navigating it as a mum.

This episode is especially helpful for parents, expats, and anyone curious about life in Switzerland, while also improving your Swiss German listening skills with clear, slow speech.
