Helvetia Education Group is a Swiss Education Family Office serving families worldwide. One trusted relationship coordinating your child's schooling and university path in Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Europe, North America and other leading destinations, with tradition, trust and excellence.
“Just call Helvetia. They'll take care of it.”
Confidence for parents. Care for every journey. Excellence in every detail.
We are not an education agency. Helvetia sits where Swiss education consultancy, a private family office and luxury concierge meet. We manage the educational affairs of international families through one long-term, discreet relationship, wherever in the world their children study.
Long-term relationships, continuity and respect for the heritage of Swiss education.
Confidentiality, reliability and the responsibility that comes with supporting families and their children.
Every detail matters, from a major university application to a simple airport transfer.
“If you're sending your child to Switzerland and want everything handled properly, you call Helvetia.”
Helvetia Education Group is a premium Swiss education and family concierge brand with its Swiss presence in Geneva and its corporate seat in the Kingdom of Bahrain. We support international families from the GCC, Europe, Central Asia, the CIS, Asia and Africa whose children study, live or plan their future in Switzerland, the United Kingdom, continental Europe, the United States, Canada and other leading education destinations.
Our families value privacy, reliability and the right relationship rather than the cheapest provider. Our test for every decision is simple: if this were our own child, would this be good enough?
Families we serve are connected with leading Swiss and international schools and universities, including the ecosystems around:
From a first admissions conversation to a decade-long relationship, every Helvetia family is supported through the division that fits its needs.
Expert guidance for academic success in Switzerland, the UK, Europe, North America and beyond.
Luxury concierge and lifestyle management for families in Switzerland and wherever their children study.
Invitation-only membership for families who expect nothing less than excellence.
From the first conversation the relationship is personal, long-term and built on trust. Consultations take place in Geneva, in Bahrain or by video call with families anywhere in the world.
A discreet conversation about your child, your family's ambitions and the right path, in Switzerland or elsewhere.
A tailored plan covering schools, universities, timelines, budget and the practicalities around them.
Applications, interviews, visas, relocation, accommodation and daily support, handled by one trusted contact.
Ongoing reviews and support from boarding school through university and beyond. Just call Helvetia.
Switzerland is our home and our benchmark. Our families, and the schools and universities we work with, are spread across the world.
