It was so interesting to compare your private school experience to mine in public school in Switzerland, definitely seems a lot less stressful! We also always had lots of exams every week and almost every year two or three students dropped out of your grade🧐 But the technology and school buildings were definitely also of a very high standard, so in that respect we in Switzerland are very lucky

[@NatalieMatz]

Yeah, I feel like this neatness and high standards was something typical for most of the places I visited in Switzerland. It impressed me all the time...

This was very interesting to watch as a person who basically went to public school their whole life (although I did go to summer camp in the UK and it was pretty similar to what you explained here).

[@Anna133199]

Polish public school sounds like hell. A test every day? How are you supposed to learn new things if you have tests all the damn time? I think at my school in the Netherlands we had three or four big test weeks per year in which every subject was tested, except maybe PE/music/technique, those kinds of subjects that aren't considered to be 'serious'. Outside of those weeks, we had probably about two smaller tests per week, in my estimation, or maybe three sometimes. But no more than that.

[@NatalieMatz]

Technically, there was a maximum of 3 'big' tests a week, but we also had quizes (which you had to study for anyway, and homeworks, and sometimes teachers ignored the maximum :( So it was probably worse than it was supposed to be

[@NatalieMatz]

Hey! In my case the school in Switzerland contacted my school in Poland and my Polish teachers printed the exam for me and watched me while I took it. The school created these exams itself and they checked English writing and reading skills, and there was a math exam. Does it answer your question?

I’m interest in applying for le regent but those specific fees are too expensive 🥲

My parents paid about 4 000 euro for the uniform, insurance and pocket money. The pocket money came back to me, of course. However, I knew people who convinced the school to pay a bit less e.g. lowering their pocket money

Hi! I was just wondering if there was a Canadian version of the competition! I'm going into gr. 8 an I've been wanting to go to boarding school for a while now, I have a couple questions to ask can you answer them if you don't mind! 1) What grades do I need to attend your school (or boarding skl in general) bc I know that i.b programs are very hard 2) what can I do right now to increase my chances of getting into boarding school 3) What sports or extra-curricular activities did you do before getting in. (i plan on attending a Swiss boarding school in gr. 10 and I can also afford the costs if that helps!) Thanks!

[@NatalieMatz]

1) they are actually not that focused on grades when you apply, they just need to be decent 2) & 3) I made a video with tips and describing my story in more detail - ‚How to get a scholarship?’. But keep in mind that if you can afford the costs it will be much easier to get in because there are more places, so don’t worry about it too much ❤️

Another video about scholarships seems like not for us students as far as I understand. Anyways, thank you for your information!

[@NatalieMatz]

Hi. If you want to get a scholarship you'll need to spend the last two years of you high school in the boarding school to complete the entire IB program (it's always 2 years long). I know that in LAS you can follow the American high school program so maybe it's different there. Otherwise, you could make your high school a year longer and do another junior and senior year in Switzerland. I know people that did that, it shouldn't be a problem. I hope it makes sense :)
