About the School
Freies Gymnasium Bern is a private Swiss day school in Bern, offering a continuous academic pathway from Grade 5 through to the Swiss Matura. Known locally as "Freigymer," the school is recognised and subsidised by the Canton of Bern, giving families a private-school environment with a clear Swiss university entrance route. Its strongest differentiator is continuity: students can move from preparatory classes into lower gymnasium and then through the four-year Gymnasium without changing school. A bilingual German-English Matura option is also available, with up to half of selected subjects taught in English during earlier years. Families often choose Freies Gymnasium Bern for its small classes, familiar community, individual learning coaching, humanist tradition, and structured preparation for Swiss and international higher education.
Located in the beautiful Bern, Freies Gymnasium Bern has been providing exceptional education since 1859. With a student body of 400+ students from around the world, the school offers a truly international learning environment with instruction in German & French.
