Switzerland
Switzerland is well known for its many private boarding schools, which draw upon French, German, British, American and Swiss curricula and enroll children from all over the world. It is not uncommon for a school with 50 students to have 20 nationalities represented among those enrolled. Most Swiss children go to state schools, with private schools most often operated for foreign students.
The Swiss Maturite, the national examination of Switzerland, corresponds to the French Baccalaureate. Examinations for the Maturite consist of eight to 12 subjects and include at least two foreign languages. Successful candidates are immediately admitted to the faculties of medicine, law, philosophy or science at Swiss universities.
