From Dubai to Switzerland - A Family's Journey. Relocation and Education

In 2025 a family of five relocated from Dubai to Switzerland as the father took on a new corporate position. The three children, aged 4, 10 and 15, each required school placements suited to their age, background and future aspirations. Alongside education, the parents also needed solutions for childcare, extracurricular activities and the practical aspects of settling into a new country.

We began by conducting a detailed family needs assessment. Each child’s academic history, language skills and long-term goals were carefully considered, as well as the parents’ preferences regarding curricula such as Swiss, IB or British programmes. This process allowed us to create a personalised educational strategy combining immediate school placements with a long-term perspective on the family’s educational journey in Switzerland.

We pre-selected suitable schools, arranged visits and accompanied the family to meetings with school leadership. Applications and admissions were guided step by step until enrolments were confirmed. For extracurricular activities, the older children were introduced to competitive tennis programmes, while the youngest was placed in age-appropriate childcare. To support social integration, we suggested activities designed to help the children connect quickly with peers. At the same time, we coordinated with trusted experts to manage visa procedures, tax matters and housing arrangements, ensuring that everything aligned with the family’s relocation timeline. In parallel, we developed a financial plan optimising tuition, activity and living costs, and established a long-term wealth management strategy through our Wealth Office in collaboration with ZWEI Wealth.

Our support did not end with school admissions. Throughout the first year, we remained closely involved, monitoring academic progress and social integration, adjusting activities where necessary, and serving as the family’s primary contact for all educational matters. This continuity provided reassurance and stability, enabling the parents to focus on their professional and personal transition while knowing their children were thriving.

This case shows how Ulrich Educational Consulting combines educational expertise, trusted partnerships and long-term guidance to create a smooth and sustainable transition for families beginning a new chapter in Switzerland.
