The Swiss School System with Margaret Oertig

Living in Switzerland

Today we’d like introduce you to another member of our team, who will be joining us on the podcast, Kathrin Spinnler!

Kathrin is Swiss, from Bern originally, currently living and working in the UK. Kathrin has a background in the Swiss education system and is part of our content team here at Rigby.

In this episode, we’ll be talking about the Swiss School System, together with Margaret Oertig. If you have any interest in the Swiss school system, then we have a treat in store for you.

Margaret is the author of the brilliant book 'Going Local, Your Guide to Swiss Schooling'.

Originally from Scotland, today Margaret lives with her Swiss husband near Basel. She has lived and worked in Switzerland since 1987. Her two daughters, who are now adults, went through the Swiss school system.

Margaret has worked for many years delivering intercultural training programmes to international companies. She worked for 20 years for the Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz, lecturing, writing and working on projects related to intercultural collaboration.

If you have sent, or are considering sending, your child to a local Swiss public school, then this episode will be for you.
