Summit Education Switzerlandis a group of parents who have relocated internationally several times and therefore know first-hand that exploring childcare options or finding a new school in a foreign country can feel overwhelming. They understand that finding the best childcare or school for your child is one of the most important decisions you make as parents when preparing to move abroad. They started Summit Education with the goal of informing families about everything they need to know about the available local, private, and international options, helping them choose the best childcare or school in Switzerland.

In 2024, they published a book entitled “Childcare in Switzerland: The Basel Area Edition” (available through Amazon), in which you can find more information about all of the available forms of childcare in the Basel region, as well as costs, finding a nanny or babysitter, German-language programs, the Swiss school system, and so much more.

They have also recently published the “Summit Family Guide 2025/2026 Basel Region,” a magazine about childcare and education for families living in or relocating to Switzerland. This go-to resource offers the first complete overview of all private and international schools in the Basel region, along with a wide range of providers offering sports and leisure activities for families. If you are a family planning to relocate to the Basel area, or if you are a family already living here and considering schooling and/or other options for your children, you can read the magazine for free at https://summit-education.ch/magazine/.
