About the School
Freies Gymnasium Basel is a private Swiss day school in Basel, offering a continuous academic pathway from kindergarten through to the Swiss-recognised Matura. Founded in 1889, the school is especially relevant for families seeking strong Swiss academic grounding within a more personal, family-oriented environment than the public system. Its model brings kindergarten, primary, secondary, and Gymnasium levels under one roof, allowing smoother transitions and close long-term support. English is introduced from kindergarten with native-speaking teachers, while structured day-school provision supports working parents. What differentiates FG Basel is its combination of tradition, academic discipline, individual support, and clear university preparation in north-western Switzerland. Families often choose it for its stability, recognised Matura route, Basel location, and warm but academically focused school culture.
Located in the beautiful Basel, Freies Gymnasium Basel has been providing exceptional education since 1889. With a student body of 350+ students from around the world, the school offers a truly international learning environment with instruction in German & English.
