| Hi, I have an 8 year old son who speaks and reads English fluently, but not German. We're planning to move from the US to Zurich in September. I'd like him to learn German and attend a German speaking school (after a transitional period).
Any suggestions on where to look for schools that make this possible?
Thanks,

Not sure what you mean by a transitional period? You move to Zurich in September, your son starts school - it's the law
.
Seriously, the question to ask yourself is how long are you staying. If long term then put him in the local school, he will get a language for free and the process appears to make it easier to learn additional languages - mine now do German - fluent, French, and Italian.
If short temr then consider an international (up to 30K a year around ZH) or a bilingual school (20 to 25K around ZH last time I looked).
