Hmm, practically this sounds like Scandinavia. Looks like from a PISA 
education perspective you should aim at Finland.

Not sure that is a rational choice given language issues, though - 
Finnish is likely a chore to learn given its non-Germanic nature. Sweden 
also has a more extensive private school system, although the overall 
educational quality is lower than Finland (which seem to run a pure 
state school system). No real idea about Denmark.


Generally I think it is healthy to shop for countries that suit you. 
More people ought to vote with their feet. Of course, being an EU 
citizen I have it particularly easy (the free movement is a saving grace 
that outweighs a sizeable amount of the evil in Brussels). And kids 
might not understand the benefit they are gaining from seeing different 
cultures. But it is there.
