Canton

Switzerland is divided into 26 cantons (states), each with its own education regulations. The canton where a school is located affects curriculum options, official languages, and certain administrative requirements. Swiss Academic Network's local expertise helps families navigate cantonal differences across Geneva, Vaud, Valais, Ticino, and other regions.
