Hi there,
We live in the US permanently so our kids were born and raised here. We will be moving to Zurich for 7 months in December and I wonder if anybody has experience with the transfer from a US school to a public Swiss school. In the US, the kids start school when they are 5 (Kindergarten) but in Switzerland they start 1st grade when they are 6 or 7. My kids are currently in 1st and 4th grade here. Should they go into the same grades in Zurich or would they have to be one grade up. They are both fluent in German (thank god).
Any comments on this subject are welcome.
Thank you.
