Basel and surrounds

[1busybee]

Hi, I'm after some advice. We may be moving to a new job in Basel with our three children. I have done some research and understand quite a lot of people live in France/Germany, commuting to Basrl. I am most taken by the Swiss school system for my English speaking children and wondered whether it was possible to live in France/germany and go to a Swiss public school? I really would like them to go to public school and integrate so I am not considering private schools.....plus for three kids we d be living on thin air!! Thanks

Hi Beresh It may be different in your area and as you can see in the link it depends on which canton you are in with the cost ranging from 1500 to 5600 per semester, plus there are exam fees and equipment fees(2,200). Maybe other institutions providing the passarelle charge less but I doubt it. fyi there are two semesters per year
