  • More about me

    She was born in Lörrach and graduated from high school in 2019. In 2017, she spent six months as a student in New Zealand. Since then, she has been present at almost all trade fairs in southern Germany and enriches all information events with her experiences. At the end of 2019, she returned to New Zealand for work and travel. Her planned onward trip to Australia and Canada unfortunately had to be cut short due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, she had the opportunity to visit many schools and provide us with the latest updates. Since autumn 2020, in addition to her studies, she has been representing Switch You in Stuttgart and the surrounding area. Sophie is Marketing Manager at Switch You and is responsible for layout and all public appearances for Switch You. She is always available to answer any questions you may have.

We are …

… a great journey An enthusiastic family with extensive personal experience in student exchange and living abroad. After many years in the travel industry and many years of experience with high schools in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and the USA, we want to share our knowledge.


We are enthusiastic about the school system and educational approach abroad. Above all, the somewhat different perspective on holistic learning, the experience with comprehensive schools, and the diversity of subjects open up opportunities unknown here. We offer expert support from the initial considerations, far beyond the actual school stay, all the way to a successful reintegration into the German school system.


We are well-versed in the German school system, with its challenges and academic priorities. We are working on a parallel curriculum for individual subjects and grade levels to give German students abroad the opportunity to work on German curriculum, if desired. This program is still in its early stages and is being developed in collaboration with German teachers.

What is important to us is…

...but not only academic support and the organization of the school stay. We place particular emphasis on maintaining constant contact with the family, the student, and the foreign school.


It's an exciting and unfamiliar time ahead not only for the students, but equally so for the families left behind. Homesickness can be accompanied by wanderlust, and both can demand attention.


Switch You never leaves you alone. You'll be personally supervised by the same person from the very beginning and won't be passed around the system.
