Freies Gymnasium Zürich is a private Swiss day school in Zürich, offering a rigorous gymnasium education for families seeking direct preparation for the Swiss Matura and university entry. Rather than positioning itself as a conventional international school, FGZ is rooted in the Swiss academic tradition, with pathways from primary and progymnasium levels through to a state-recognised Matura. Its strongest differentiator is bilingual education: FGZ was the first grammar school in the canton of Zurich to offer a continuous German-English bilingual programme, a model it has developed for around 25 years. Students can choose Matura profiles including classics, modern languages, economics and law, mathematics, and natural sciences. Families often choose FGZ for its academic discipline, bilingual depth, Zurich location, and clear route into Swiss and international higher education.

Located in the beautiful Zurich, Freies Gymnasium Zürich has been providing exceptional education since 1887. With a student body of 500+ students from around the world, the school offers a truly international learning environment with instruction in German.
