Your Journey
When should you come to Verdant?
1. Swiss Transitions
For families moving to Switzerland or changing schools, Verdant helps make the system clear and the next step manageable.
2. Pathway Choices
We guide families through IB, A-Level, Matura, US and European routes so each decision fits their academic goals.
3. School Placement
From international schools to boarding options, we help families identify environments where a child can grow positively.
4. University Pathways
We support students with course choice, academic positioning and application strategy for the next stage. We partner with schools and universities to aid transitions.
5. Student Development
For students who need structure, confidence or direction, Verdant builds habits that support long-term independence. We provide assistance to all types of learners.
6. Family Advisory
For complex decisions, Verdant offers calm, strategic guidance that keeps the child’s growth at the centre. We place the families and the students needs first.
Two areas of support. One coherent path.
Verdant supports both educational decision-making and student development.
Our Approach
Education advisory is more than placements.
A school or university choice shapes more than a timetable, or a gradebook.
It shapes confidence, friendships, identity, culture, opportunity and the way we understand ourselves.
Verdant works at the intersection of education strategy and student development. We work with schools, families and universities to ensure a young person's wellbeing is accounted for as well as their grades.
We do not simply ask:
“Which school is the best?”
We ask:
“Which environment will help this child become more capable, more grounded and more ready for what comes next?”
We have a proven record of ensuring students find the right school for them, and we have helped institutions to benefit the young people we guide.
Our advisory is informed by our founder's studies and experiences at The University of Cambridge, The International Baccalaureate and the World Health Organisation.
Why Verdant?
Verdant is an independent education consultancy based in Geneva, Switzerland supporting globally-mobilie families through school placement, university pathways and student development.
Our work draws on experience across leading schools, boarding, curriculum design, academic mentoring and wellbeing-informed education.
Verdant is led by Christopher Green FCCT and supported by a discreet network of educators, mentors, university specialists and wellbeing professionals.
Verdant is not built around volume. We work with a limited number of families so that advice remains personal, considered and precise.
