Adrienne Currer

After completing her BEd (Hons) in Southampton, England, Adrienne returned home to Gibraltar, where she began her teaching career in a lower primary school.

When she and Dominic married, Adrienne returned to the UK and taught in upper primary schools in both Southampton and London. In 1996, they took the exciting step of moving their young family, with their six-year-old twin sons, to Switzerland, and Switzerland became their home for the next 20 years.

Adrienne taught at the International Primary School of Zurich and later became Team Leader for the eight Grade 5 and 6 classes at Zurich International School. She also taught at the International School of Zug and Luzern, where she subsequently joined the Admissions Department. In this role, she particularly enjoyed helping families navigate the process of moving to Switzerland and ensuring that their children made a happy and successful transition to their new school.

With experience of both the British National Curriculum and the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), Adrienne brings a wealth of understanding of international education, as well as a genuine appreciation of the opportunities and challenges that come with moving countries and schools.

Today, Adrienne works alongside Dominic at Search Associates, supporting schools and educators around the world. Her own experience as a teacher, admissions professional, and parent gives her a unique perspective when helping families and educators navigate international education.

Outside of work, family remains at the heart of Adrienne’s life. She loves spending as much time as possible with her grandchildren and feels incredibly fortunate to see the next generation of her family growing up.
