ELA Basel – The Swiss British School is a private independent day school in Basel, Switzerland, offering education and care from nursery age through to the end of secondary school. Founded in 1993, the school is designed for families who want a British-international education with meaningful links to the local Swiss context. Its pathway includes Kita, Primary, and Secondary education, with the Secondary School offering two routes: a Cambridge curriculum pathway and a bilingual stream aligned with Lehrplan 21.
