In most European countries, the academic year begins in September. In Switzerland, however, it starts a bit later – in October. This is because many families prefer to spend summer holidays together, so the start of the academic year is moved to a later date.

Depending on the region of the country, schoolchildren can be taught in one of Switzerland's four official languages: German, French, Italian, or Romansh. In addition, some international schools teach in English.
