Our philosophy

A Swiss Education Family Office

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.

Tradition

Long-term relationships, continuity and respect for the heritage of Swiss education.

Trust

Confidentiality, reliability and the responsibility that comes with supporting families and their children.

Excellence

Every detail matters, from a major university application to a simple airport transfer.

About Helvetia Education Group

One trusted partner, in Switzerland and worldwide

“If you're sending your child to Switzerland and want everything handled properly, you call Helvetia.”

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?

Questions

Frequently asked

Is Helvetia an education agency?
No. Helvetia is a Swiss Education Family Office. We are paid by families for professional advice and coordination, we do not run mass recruitment, and we act for the family, not for a school. Where institutional partnership arrangements exist, they are disclosed.
Can you guarantee admission to a particular school or university?
No adviser can, and you should be cautious of anyone who says otherwise. Admissions decisions are made solely by the institutions. What we do is ensure your child is presented in the best possible way, to the right institutions, at the right time.
When should we start?
Ideally 12 to 24 months before the intended entry date for boarding schools and 18 months for universities. That said, we regularly help families with mid-year entries, transfers and urgent situations.
Where is Helvetia based?
Our Swiss presence is in Geneva, close to the schools and universities of the Lake Geneva region. The company, Helvetia Education Group W.L.L., is registered in the Kingdom of Bahrain, which serves as our corporate and administrative seat. We work with families worldwide and meet in person or by video call.
Do you only work with Swiss schools and universities?
No. Switzerland is our home and our reference point, but we place students in the United Kingdom, continental Europe, the United States, Canada and other leading destinations, and we support families moving between education systems. Many of our families combine a Swiss boarding school with a university elsewhere.
How do fees and payment work?
Fees are agreed in a written engagement letter before work begins. Invoices are issued in CHF and can be paid by card online or by bank transfer in CHF, USD, EUR or BHD. Larger packages are usually split into instalments. See our Refund Policy.
Do you provide banking, insurance or legal services?
No. Helvetia coordinates and introduces families to carefully selected, independently licensed professionals in Switzerland. Any regulated service is provided directly by that professional under their own terms.
How is our family's information protected?
Discretion is the foundation of our work. Information is shared only with institutions and professionals you have authorised, and handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
